Had loads of earphones, had the 75t and now these. All worth buying. Simply superb.
I bought these and the 75t Active Elite as I know they have different fits and I wanted to test them out. Long story short, these win by a mile for me.
Audio quality is outstanding, hugely better than the 75t. Sound stage, frequency distribution and clarity are all fantastic, a joy to listen to. The 75ts sound pretty good but they’re a mid muddled in the sound stage/clarity.
The fit is great. I can see why some people say they feel loose, because you don’t really feel that seal. But believe me, it’s there. No chance of these falling out or even needing to be readjusted. The only downside is due to the size of them, you can feel the casing wobbling against your outer ear when moving around. Not a big deal. Overall, it’s nice to have an earbud that stays locked in but doesn’t make your ear feel plugged. Big plus for me.
The noise cancellation is out of this world. I feel like I’m living in a world of silence! When walking next to a busy main road all I’m hearing is a very light whisper of cars going by.
Easy to set up and connect, controls are straightforward and everything just works without glitch, stutter or wierdness, including multipoint connections and calls
I have been test driving these wireless Jabra Elite 85t Earbuds for a few weeks now, care of @theinsiders_uk . I got them because I was sick of untangling myself from the wires while working from home when listening to music and then jumping onto a Teams meeting. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting the Apple ones, but I’m really please with these. They are on the more expensive side, but the sound quality of pretty decent and I love that they are pretty comfortable, as I’m always a bit reluctant to wear earbuds, but these are decent. I love that I can listen to music on my phone and then seamlessly pick up a call on my laptop. Also I love that these have different settings, so you can block out the sound with Anti-Noise Cancellation setting or the Hear-through setting, which is pretty handy when I’m walking down the street and need to beeps aware of my surroundings. The case is pretty nifty and can be used with a charging pad. A bit disappointed that if I run up the stairs, the connection can be lost, but not sure how this compares to other models. However, overall I’m really pleased with these and would definitely recommend to anyone looking at the higher end specs of wireless headphones. #JabraxInsiders
Ho provato questo prodotto con curiosit soprattutto per questi aspetti: qualit dell’audio, comfort in utilizzo prolungato e qualit del noise cancelling. Gli auricolari e la custodia sono di ottima qualit costruttiva, solidi e sembra resistenti. Indossandoli un attimo trovare la posizione giusta e hanno una ottima vestibilit, risultando comode per utilizzi prolungati e non hanno la tendenza a cadere. Un piccolo difetto che per sistemarli nell’orecchio si tende a schiacciare i bottoni. La dimensione e la forma li rendono difficili da indossare con un casco aperto e quasi impossibile con un integrale. L’utilizzo intuitivo e non ho avuto bisogno di leggere il manuale per capire le varie funzioni. Ottimo anche il feedback vocale. L’esperienza di ascolto buona e pu essere migliorata attraverso l’utilizzo del software dedicato. Le ho utilizzate sia sul telefono che sul computer di casa. A livello musicale, complice una buona chiusura del canale auricolare, la qualit tra le migliori che ho ascoltato con cuffie wireless. Ottima anche la funzione di interruzione della musica quando si rimuove un auricolare Anche le chiamate sono pulite e non ho riscontrato problemi con l’interlocutore. Le funzioni di equalizzazione offerte dal software permettono una personalizzazione nei limiti degli auricolari di questo tipo. Il noise cancelling presenta la funzione hear thorough e risulta abbastanza bilanciato nel filtrare i rumori di fondo. Sia la soppressione dei suoni che il livello di filtro nella modalit hear thorough possono essere personalizzati attraverso il software. La batteria ottima ma la posizione della custodia in ricarica wireless poco intuitiva.
Ordinate le cuffie, le ho provate subito per poter capire davvero la qualit di questa Jabra che non conoscevo visto che al momento avevo gi cuffie in-ear ma non cos sofisticate. Collegamento bluetooth velocissimo e senza problemi, una App direi perfetta e intuitiva. La modalit ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) perfetta, copre perfettamente i rumori esterni, isolandoti da tutto e tutti, direi ottimo per ascoltare quello che si vuole in piena tranquillit. La modalit HearThrough che permette di sentire i suoni esterni quando si vuole perfetta, impostabile nella sua intensit tramite l’APP utilissima se si sente la musica per strada, cos da sentire i rumori e non essere esclusi dal traffico. Le chiamate hanno un audio nitido, in stereo e senza particolari problemi per la comunicazione anche in presenza di vento in esterna. Il comfort buono, si incastrano bene nel padiglione dopo aver trovato il giusto adattatore e permette di tenerle ben salde anche durante la corsa. La custodia bellissima, molto piccola e non ingombrante nelle tasche, perfettamente compatibile con ricarica wireless del mio cellulare e per fortuna con lo stesso connettore (USB-C). Solo due piccole cose non mi piacciono molto di questo dispositivo. La prima dovuta a un volume che speravo fosse un po’ pi alto, non male ma lo avrei preferito pi alto. La seconda che risente molto di eventuali campi magnetici, cosa che altra marca a mia disposizione non ne risente quasi e per questo, durante il lavoro non riesco ad usarle al meglio, le user solo per tempo libero.
I have now fully tested the Elite 85t and overall, I would rate these a 7.5/10. The packaging is very sleek, and the setup guides are very simple to follow. I would advise setting them up on your phone first with the easy to use app. They will connect to other devices without the full setup but I feel that the auto adaption to you personally really helps improve the experience. For the first week my ear were in a little bit of discomfort over long periods of use but I have not been feeling anything for the last couple of weeks. I would advise not jumping to the conclusion on comfort because now I am well adapted. They do feel secure in my ears but there has been the odd occasion they have jumped out. I am avoiding running with them for this reason. The battery life is a little contentious for me as I feel I get about 3 hours of use before they start to run out but that will be impacted because I am connected to both my phone and laptop at all times. If you are on all day calls then I would not recommend these because they don’t last as long as I expected. Overall, I was impressed with the ANC functionality against my over ear high end branded headphones. I would say the cancellation scores highly for me in this area and was surprised based on some reviews I have seen. I also rate the experience of someone else on the other end of the video call. I always ask if they can hear the noise coming from the background and no one can. I would like to see an improvement in the distance before cut-off. I walk about 6 meters through a glass door and they end. I am probably expecting a little too much of the technology though. All in all, I am very pleased with the Elite 85t and would recommend it to some who is looking to now splash out more than other more expensive brands but wants quality.
Devo ammettere che la prima volta che possiedo un prodotto Jabra e non posso che esserne soddisfatto. Le ho acquistate principalmente per sostituire i vecchi auricolari con filo per avere la comodit di una connessione bluetooth. Il packaging mi ha subito colpito in quanto ben progettato e strutturato. Al suo interno sono presenti gli auricolari dentro la loro custodia nero opaco. Il design favoloso e da subito mostra la qualit dei materiali, almeno per quanto riguarda il case esterno. La presenza dei magneti ne agevola la chiusura. All’interno della confezione sono presenti anche gommini di diverse dimensioni in modo tale da avere un’aderenza perfetta all’orecchio. Per quanto riguarda il suono l’ho trovato di ottima qualit con una buona predisposizione per i bassi. La modalit di cancellazione attiva del rumore ottima e ho trovato molto utile anche la funzione hearthrough. Per quanto riguarda il mio principale utilizzo, io generalmente le uso per le chiamate, sia con singolo auricolare che con entrambi. Non ho mai avuto problemi e ho avuto conferme positive riguardo la qualit del microfono incorporato. La connessione al cellulare rapidissima ed inoltre molto semplice anche la prima configurazione. L’app Jabra tra l’altro uno strumento favoloso per poter personalizzare le proprie cuffie adattandole al proprio profilo di udito. La durata della batteria in linea con le mie aspettative ovvero consente di arrivare alla fine della giornata lavorativa ed inoltre il case si ricarica molto velocemente tramite il cavo in dotazione. Le cuffie sono abbastanza ergonomiche, le ho utilizzate anche durante attivit sportiva senza riscontrare alcun problema di vestibilit. L’unica pecca l’impossibilit di utilizzare la modalit “singolo auricolare” con l’auricolare sinistro. In caso di utilizzo di tale modalit si costretti ad utilizzare l’auricolare destro.
Really pleased about this product and how it fits. I have had other wireless headphones and this is a completely different and superior product. The app is very handy and it has helped set up the parameters, that has allowed me to listen the music I like properly with the right balance. The Noise control is brilliant. I can barely listen to what’s going on around me. Also the battery is really long lasting! I have been using the Headphones for 10 days, quiet often and have just charged the case once! This is something outstanding. One thing that needs to be improved is the noise cancellation from the microphone. I realized that if I call, the people that I am phoning can listen to any noise that surrounds me. other than this, really please with the product, the quality and the materials that have been used. I can recommend this product.
So after trying the 75t and finding them good but not great I wanted to find true wireless that would give ANC that were practical for the gym, and calls, but with a quality sound and the Jabra elite 85t seemed to be the perfect match. Like the 75t These are very small, as is the case, and therefore great to put in your pocket and take them with you. The earphones themselves are neat, and look great. They were easy to pair and I could connect to both my phone and tablet at the same time. The fit – with 3 sizes of tips to choose from I tried the medium, they felt a little loose but never fell out. The sound – well, after a little running in, and changing of the tip the quality is amazing. And good bass too which I love. The loose fit does let sound in and makes the ANC less effective . Other – the controls are easy, and offer great control of pausing/skipping tracks, voice control, changing volume etc. Basically everything you could want. They also have a range of white noise/soothing sounds which is a nice touch. I would imagine this would be good for a long trip where you want to close your eyes and relax!! The sound quality for calls is ok, but there seems to be a “hum” during calls. Overall, these are great with loads of features, and a compact design. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for quality true wireless earphones!!
I have tested the previous model ,the 75 active.that one was good.but this one’s are perfect.long battery life, one charge keeps me around one week,with 2 hours daily usage. Noise cancelling is good as it blocks the environment noise.with oval shape they fit perfectly without the think that will fell from ears. Design is also improved from previous model.sound is loud and clear.
I’ve used the previous generation Jabra Elite 75t as my daily earphones for months now, so was super excited to try the newer 85t. At 219.99, I was expecting a leap over the previous generation but unfortunately, this wasn’t the case. There’s still plenty to love about the new 85t, and if you should buy them depends on what earphones you use now. Firstly, what’s new? The 85t have more powerful noise cancellation, upgraded sound and a wireless charging case. The Sound+ app you use is great, reliable and straightforward and the ANC is superb, I was able to drown out all sorts of noises and fine tune the ANC using the Sound+ app too. I love Hearthrough, allowing you to hear the world around you at the press of a button. To achieve this new ANC power, Jabra added additional microphones and this seems to have completely changed the design of the earphones. They’re huge and I couldn’t get a comfortable fit, plus the oval shaped eartips mean that you can’t get replacement ones easily. They’re well built though, the case is sturdy and battery life is great.
These are really great. Look sleek, great range of bud sizes for that perfect fit, small but secure in the ear, I am really enjoying using them! The case is nice and secure too, the lid stays on tight which is one thing I was worried about. I am finding they have excellant call quality and noise canceling. I tend to use these more at work (I drive HGV lorries so there is constant noise ) during a call I am told you cannot hear background noise or wind blowing, which is fantastic. It is great having everything personalised to myself using the app, I can adjust the noise cancelling, bass etc. The battery life is amazing, the have lasted almost a whole week of pretty heavy use without needing a charge, which is very decent. So far, so good!
Well after reviewing and testing the Jabra 75T earbuds which i found a bit of a disaster as they kept falling out then had a major technical problem, so it was with intrepidation that i pay out 219 for their supposed better brother?? First of all i had next day delivery with Amazon Prime and as soon as i unwrapped the Jabra box i found even getting into the Jabra packaging was easier than the 75T, i opened the box and took out the earbuds – charger box and spares gells plus charging lead and instructions, FORGET the instruction book the writting is in such small format its a waste of time!! however once you download the Jabra App the instructions are their in larger format, i charged the earbuds fully then installed the up to date firmware then fitted the eargells that were most comfortable for me, imediatly i found the Jabra 85T a better fit and with comfort again much better than the 75T, i conected to my audible app via bluetooth and was stunned at the clarity, these are SO much better than the 75T!! so i played with the equilizer a little and found even better claritable audio from the narritor reading the book on Audible. The next day was the real test 2 hour walk in windy conditions! 2 whole hours walking and they stayed in perfectly, this is SUCH a PLUS, with the 75T i had lost faith in Jabra but with these faith is now restored!! using the ANC i find blocking all background noise out is best for me – although they block it out so much ou cannot hear any vehicles until upon you, but still i find this the right setting for me, in extreamly windy weather such as this morning yes you do get a little wind noise BUT its perfectly acceptable, im partially deaf and have absolutly no problems hearing my audio books using my own settings, everything on the Jabra App is very easy to use – you even have a ‘Find my Jabra’ facility! theirs several different factory settings for audio with more bass etc etc but simply altering the graphic equilizer and saving for your own perfect listening is what i found easiest for me. all in all i can fully recomend these Jabra 85T earpods for long walks even on rough ground because they do stay were they are put, i do really like the magnetic earpod charger/case they just click in to their beds, ive never had them run out of charge and had on walking for 3 long walks now of at least two hours per walk so that is quite impressive too. hopefully being shower proof they will stand up to the Cumbrian weather – we’ll see!!!!!!!!!
Jabra Elite 85t Headphones will not disappoint you as the quality of sound is just superb. I enjoyed them while listening to music or movies on Netflix. You can active a noise cancellation feature which really gets you into maximum focus by blocking any background noise. Sometimes I use this feature just to cancel out my family members when trying to focus on work 🙂 Less favourite I found a new design of the headphones. It doesn’t fit as good as Jabra Elite 75t and found them also slightly heavier. The charging pod seems bigger too. I found it a bit frustrating that the right bud losing the charge faster that the left one – according the technical team this is okay because the right one has more features. I would suggest to tweak this and make the left battery slightly stronger. The mic is perfect but could not see a big difference from 75t. The battery life is good too. Overall, the headphones are great but when comparing to model 75t I am not that impressed.

I brought them for the insider campaign nearly a month ago and have used them for a while for several occasions: working out, talking on the phone, listening to music while doing house work and many more things. I love the fact that they are customisable and can fit nearly everyone’s shape and size of ear as they have 3 different sizes . Also, charging them was extremely easy as the case is wireless . They have a reasonable amount of life and don’t need to charge very often, which is handy when you need them for a long period of time. At first I found it difficult to understand how to change songs, answers calls and other things. However, once I explored more on the Jabra app I found out you can customise this so that its convenient to you, making it easier. They are incredibly handy when you want to get away from your surroundings with the noise cancellation function on the earbuds. I was disappointed that there was no alert when they have die they just stop playing. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone who want to have a high quality sound and magnificent experience anywhere they are.

Sono piacevolmente sorpresa per l’unboxing, la scatola completamente riciclabile e l’unica plastica quella che contieni i gommini aggiuntivi. Gli auricolari fanno subito bella mostra di s, e a primo sguardo si capisce che sono un prodotto premium: sono ben fatti e il meccanismo di aggancio magnetico perfetto. Ho scaricato subito l’app come suggerito e attivato il Bluetooth sul cellulare, seguendo i passaggi necessari la connessione stata immediata e soprattutto super stabile. L’app un grandissimo valore aggiunto, ben fatta, piena di funzioni e permette di personalizzare l’ascolto. Una volta connesse ci chieder di effettuare immediatamente un aggiornamento firmware della durata di circa 15 minuti, dopo di che gli auricolari saranno pronti all’uso. Dai primi test che ho effettuato in chiamata risultano non solo molto comodi ma anche molto funzionali: la voce arriva chiara e pulita anche passeggiando per strada tra il traffico, li ho utilizzati per ascoltare musica e vengono riprodotte molto bene tutte le frequenze, consci del fatto che degli auricolari bluetooth non sono certo dericati agli audiofili. La mia esperienza finora molto positiva ma ho riscontrato una criticit: durate l’ascolto di musica classica, jazz, acustica e le chiamate in ambienti silenziosi ho notato un fruscio persistente all’auricolare sinistro. Ho contattato allora il servizio di assistenza che mi ha risposto immediatamente (veramente celeri) invitandomi a resettare e reinstallare il firmware delle cuffie. Ho eseguito il tutto ma il problema non si risolto. Cercando su internet allora ho scoperto che ne sono affette anche le precedenti versioni, e credo sia dovuto al metodo di collegamento master/slave che hanno gli auricolari. L’unico modo per attutirlo tenere il volume sotto il 60%.
The first thing I notice about the 85t headphones is that they are bigger and heaver than the 75t and the shape of the earbud are oval as opposed to round. Still they are smaller and ligher than the 65t. Once in the ear they fit better than the previous 2 iterations and I did not notice the weight difference between 75t and 85t. The sound, as usual is great. The most noticeable improvement is the noise cancelling. My work desk is in front of a bus stop and when I turn on ANC I do not hear and traffic or passenger noise. The only down size is that I would not recommend these to do sport in as when I ran in them for 1 mile they felt like they were going to fall out any minute so had to stop and put my 75t buds on instead – I would just wait for an Active version to come out which betters the 65t Active (I was not impressed with 75t Active)
Hi everyone.
I want to tell you about my experience with Jabra Elite 85T headphones . First of all, i want to let you know that earbuds are used mostly by me for music and long conversations. In my opinion Jabra have developed superb noise cancelling system that can separate you from everyday noise, what is important when you make business calls in busy environment.
Battery last pretty good taking price range into consideration. They fit just perfect for me but here we must be clear that everyone have different ears. Sound quality taking music into consideration is average (i would prefer a bit mote kick from low tones), for a phone calls they are perfect.
Microphone could be better but i was testing it mostly in hard weather conditions that’s why my opinion can be different to someone who using them in the office.
Overall build and sound quality place them on the same place with other premium brands earbuds in this price range. I can recommend them to every working person who need reliable buds with premium look.
I have been using the 85t headphones for just over a week now. When they arrived, I could tell from the box that they are a quality product and a lot of thought had gone into the product and the packaging. The set up was simple and they connected to my phone really quickly.
I love the fit feature, which through the app allows you to find the best size buds to use. The Noise cancellation is good and gets better the longer you wear them. I like that taking one out causes the audio to pause and it continues playing as you put it back in. The smart feature though is hear through, it does affect battery life, however it’s great when out walking and you want to be more aware of traffic etc. Or if you’re just nosey like me and want to be able to hear what people are saying without being obvious.
The battery life is good, I’ve not had to charge them using the cable or wirelessly since the first charge. I’ve been using them for roughly 2-3 hours a day as a guide.
In terms of using them out and about I have taken them on a few walks and never felt like I need to adjust them or they were falling out. I haven’t used them when out on my bike yet, as I wanted to make sure they felt secure first.
I have used the find my jabra feature in the app already, as I couldn’t find them one morning. The case had fallen out of my pocket and they had gone down the sofa. It was a great relief to know they were in the house.
They are a definite upgrade on the 75t, which were great but lacked wireless charging and a few other little features. The touch controls still take a little getting used to. I would definitely recommend them though, if you’re looking for your first pair of wireless ear buds or looking to upgrade from an older pair.
Ha habido una importante mejora con respecto de los anteriores, los Elite 75t, los cuales ya eran muy buenos, pero es que estos son an mejores. Desde la carcasa, hasta la comodidad de los auriculares en s, pasando por la app son todo mejoras, y ha habido bastantes extras que han aadido que lo hacen un producto redondo. El aislamiento es mejor an, se ve que han trabajado duro en este aspecto de la cancelacin de ruido activa y con el volumen muy bajo no se escucha nada del exterior, imaginaos con el volumen alto. La carcasa ya tena un conector USB-C que ya era bueno pero ahora es bueno y cmodo con su carga Qi inalmbrica que te carga la carcasa en dos horas inalmbricamente. El auricular en s lo han hecho algo ms robusto (imagino que para el aislamiento) pero no por ello ha cedido comodidad, ya que siguen destacando por su bajo peso y buen fit a la oreja (trae 3 adaptadores de distintos tamaos). Ahora trae el LED de carga en el estuche en la parte frontal mucho ms a la vista ya que antes detrs estaba demasiado escondido. La conexin con el telfono es instantnea y puedes cambiar de dispositivo con total libertad y rapidez. El sonido es muy balanceado con muy buenos agudos y graves an mejores, se mueve muy bien en todos los gneros musicales en general. En conclusin es un producto que ha mejorado mucho con respecto al anterior modelo el cual pareca que no poda ser mejor pero el 85t ha venido para adelantarle en mejoras y en el da a da. Como contrapartida he notado que dura alrededor de una hora menos por carga que los 75t, pero lo entiendo dado que ha mejorado el producto y su aislamiento activo que tengo entendido que hace gastar ms la batera. Recomendables por su precio, el cual parece alto pero con respecto a sus competidores son ms econmicos.
These earbuds come in a lovely little case that doubles as a charging unit. The lid is very secure so is not likely to lose your earbuds when travelling. it comes with three sizes of flexible plastic ear gels which fit over the bit that goes in your ear (very technical) so that you will have a super fit for anyone’s head. There are three modes that the buds operate in 1) ANC which is noise cancelling. This is very effective for deep noises such as buses and airliners but will not cut out the radio or chatting nearby much. 2) Hear through. this allows you to disable the ANC if you wish to converse with a friend or safely hear everything if you are crossing a busy road. 3) Off
It took me a while to remember all the controls on the unit as both left and right earbuds will respond to click, double click, triple-click and press and hold so there is a lot to learn. I was disappointed that I couldn’t change the mode during the middle of a call but that’s a minor gripe.
The sound quality is excellent and every bit as good as a high-end over-ears headset. The bass notes are deep and resonant and the treble notes crisp and sharp. I’m no audio expert but it made my favourite music come to life in a way that my previous earbuds did not.
I use them for listening to music when running around the park in the morning and also listening to music whilst working during the working day.
In summary, after a little adjustment and learning, I am loving my new Jabra 85t earbuds and would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Die Jabra Elite 85t besitze ich mittlerweile seit 4 Wochen und konnte sie in diesem Zeitraum ausgiebig testen. Im Lieferumfang sind neben den Kopfhren und dem Case insgesamt 3 verschieden groe Silikonaufstze dabei. Auerdem liegt ein Ladekabel fr das Case dabei. Dieses kann aber auch Kabellos geladen werden. Alle Komponenten wirken sehr hochwertig. Die Einrichtung funktioniert sehr einfach, da man in der Jabra App einer Schritt fr Schritt Anleitung folgt. Dabei Inklusive sind einige Hinweise zur Bedienung ber die Knpfe an der Kopfhrern. Bisher kannte ich nur Kabellose Kopfhrer mit Touch-Flchen. Bei denen wusste man nie genau, ob man gerade eine Aktion ausgelst hat. Die Physischen Knpfe der Jabra Elite 85t finde ich einen sehr deutlichen Vorteil, da man hier genau wei, dass man gedrckt hat. Die Verbindung klappte mit all meinen Gerten (Samsung Smartphone, Apple IPad, Hisense Fernseher, 2 Windows Laptops) problemlos. Beim Fernseher und Ipad traten aber leider immerwieder Tonaussetzer aus. Beim Fernseher kannte ich das bereits von anderen Kabellosen Kopfhren, vom IPad bisher nicht. Praktisch ist die Funktion, dass zwei Gerte gleichzeitig verbunden sein knnen. Schaue ich auf meinem Ipad einen Film und klingelt whrenddessen mein Handy, kann ich den Anruf direkt mit den Kopfhrern annehmen. Die Kopfhrer sitzen bei mir sehr bequem im Ohr. Auch nach einer Stunde und lngerer Tragezeit trat kein unangenehme Gefhl auf. Die Tonqualitt ist sehr gut und kann durch einen Equalizer angepasst werden. Lobenswert ist auch das Active Noice Cancelling, das Nebengerusche und sogar Stimmen hervorragend verstummen lsst. Will man mit jemandem reden, kann man die Funktion “Hear through” verwenden, woduch man sein Gegenber gut hren kann, ohne die Kopfhrer raus zu nehmen. Die Akkulaufzeit ist wie auf der Verpackung angegeben und auf jeden Fall ausreichend. Der Akkustand des Cases und der Kopfhrer wird beim ffnen des Cases durch verschieden farbige LEDs angezeigt. Fazit: Die Kopfhrer lassen sich einfach einrichten und Bedienen. Der Tragekomfort ist sehr gut. Die Tonqualitt ist perfekt und wird durch das praktische Acive Noise Canelling gut untersttzt. Einziger Kritikpunkt sind die Verbindungsaussetzer mit meinem IPad. Dennoch wrde ich die Kopfhrer weiter empfehlen.
Jabra are building something of a reputation when it comes to tech-packed earphone smarts. The Elite Active 75t proved popular and now the Elite 85t has bumped up the noise-cancelling and the result is a slightly bulkier set of buds but massively improved sounds with a better balance and deeper base than its predecessor. The noise cancelling is impressive with a tailored MyFit experience driven from the app. HearThrough – an ANC mode that allows key environmental sounds to penetrate the noise-cancelling wall is also impressive. The buds come with a charging case which can be juiced up via cord or wireless charging. Expect about 5 hours of ANC (noise cancelling) from the buds and plenty of top-up time from the case. All in all these are well worth considering if you’re looking for stylish earbuds with noise cancelling credentials.
Da ich beruflich mehrmals tglich Besprechungen am PC durchfhre und auch viel telefonieren muss, habe ich mir vor geraumer Zeit schon ein sehr ordentliches OverEar Kopfhrerset zugelegt. Leider war dies in keiner Weise fr sportliche Aktivitten geeignet. Somit habe ich schon lnger berlegt mir ein paar hochwertige InEar Kopfhrer zu kaufen, aber ehrlich gesagt hat mich der hohe Preis von qualitativ hochwertigen Produkten die ganze Zeit abgeschreckt. Letztlich habe ich mich jetzt durchgerungen und mir die Jabra Elite 85t zugelegt. Geliefert werden die EarBuds in einer sehr wertig wirkenden Verpackung. Das Ladecase in welchem die Kopfhrer bei nicht Benutzung und Ladung verwahrt werden ist aus Metall und wirkt ebenfalls sehr hochwertig. Lieferumfang: 1x Kopfhrerset 1x Ladecase 1x Ladekabel 3x Ohrmuscheladapter in verschiedenen Gren. 1x Bedienungsanleitung Optisch machen die Earbuds wirklich was her. Das Produkt sieht stylisch/modern aus und fhlt sich gut an. Im ersten Moment habe ich das Gefhl, das sie sehr schwer sein knnten. Ich stecke sie mir in die Ohren und stelle fest das sie sich sehr angenehm anfhlen. Wie in der Kurzanleitung beschrieben lade ich mir die zugehrige App auf mein Smartphone. Die Kopplung mit meinem Handy funktioniert auf Anhieb und sollte fr jeden, der schon mal ein Gert ber Bluetooth mit dem Handy gepaart hat hinzubekommen sein. Die App wirkt strukturiert und ist intuitiv zu bedienen. Die Erstkonfiguration ber die App erinnert an den Hrtest beim Ohrenarzt. Nach dem Einrichten ffne ich meinen Streaminganbieter und hre verschiedene Lieder aus verschiedenen Genres. Rap, Hip-Hop und Techno gehren nicht zu meinem Musikgeschmack und werden hier nicht bercksichtigt. Bei Rock, Hardrock und Pop berzeugen die Kopfhrer sofort und man merkt das man keine Low Budget Teile benutzt. Der Klang ist ausgewogen und die Bsse sind sehr krftig. Ganz nach meinem Geschmack. Man kann das aber in der App nach Belieben nachjustieren. Das ANC funktioniert sehr gut. Den angeblich nicht so guten Sitz im Ohr kann ich nicht besttigen. Bei mir sitzen die Buds sehr gut und fallen auch beim Joggen nicht aus den Ohren. Ebenso fllt die herausragende Qualitt beim Telefonieren auf. Man wird selbst bei windiger Umgebung sehr gut verstanden und versteht seinen Gesprchspartner auch in lauter Umgebung sehr gut. Bei Onlinekonferenzen konnte ich sie bisher noch nicht testen, aber das mchte ich schnellstmglich nachholen.
Ich war auf der Suche nach einem gutem Allrounder Kopfhrer mit ANC. Mich hat hier das Design der Elite 85t sofort angesprochen. Elegant und Schlicht. Und zum zweiten die bereits guten Erfahrungen mit Jabra Produkten fr die Telefonie (Jabra Link 380 in Verbindung mit Jabra Evolve 2 65). Die Kopfhrer werden in einer schlichten Verpackung geliefert und somit nur das ntigste an Verpackungsmll. Danke Jabra. Das Auspacken geht schnell und frustfrei. Die Elite 85t fhlen sich wertig an und sehen auch sehr gut verarbeitet aus. Das gilt auch fr die Aufbewahrungsbox, die man entweder per USB C oder drahtlosen Laden aufladen kann. Fast genauso schnell wie das Auspacken geht auch das Einrichten mit der Jabra Sound+ App inkl. Hrtest um den Klang individuell auf das Ohr zu Zuschneidern. Das klappte bei mir bestens. ber die App lsst sich alles schnell und einfach anpassen. Von der Belegung der Tasten, die brigens einen angenehmen Druckpunkt haben bis zu individuellen Equalizer Einstellungen. So bin ich das auch von den bisherigen Jabra Produkten gewohnt, die sich durch eine sehr gute Software mit einer wirklich sehr guten Bedienbarkeit auszeichnen. Die Geruschunterdrckung hat hier auch Ihren Namen verdient und leistet gute Arbeit. Auch der Klang der Musik leidet nicht unter aktivierter Geruschunterdrckung. Ohne Geruschunterdrckung klingen die Elite 85t noch voller. Wie sieht es mit Telefonaten aus? Wie nicht anders von Jabra zu erwarten bieten hier die Elite 85t eine hervorragende Klangqualitt. Ob nun im Homeoffice am Jabra Link 380 eingesetzt oder unterwegs beim Spazierengehen. Meine Kollegen und Gesprchspartner zeigten sich sehr angetan von der klaren Sprachverstndlichkeit. Fr mich bieten die Jabra Elite 85t ein sehr rundes stimmiges Gesamtpacket. Ein tolles ANC, einfachste Anpassungen und Einstellungen ber die Sound+ App. Vor allem der Hrtest von Jabra hat es mir angetan, da er eine individuelle Anpassung an die eigenen Hrfhigkeiten erlaubt. Die Laufzeit ist gut und das Laden geht flott. Ich habe mit den Elite 85t einen groartigen Tragekomfort. Es kommt bei mir nie ein Druckgefhl auf. Das Einzige, wofr sie nicht geeignet sind ist Sport, da sitzen sie einfach zu locker. Leichtes Joggen und Radfahren geht noch aber fr alles andere brauch man dann spezielles fr den Sport. Aber ich war auf der Suche nach Allroundern und wurde mit den Elite 85t von Jabra nicht enttuscht.
The new Jabra Elite 85t are the latest Earbuds from Jabra and already having a couple of good sets of buds I wasn’t expecting to be as impressed as I am.
Set up was easy and the customisation is excellent. (Again, very easy to do)
I have connected them to both my phone and my PC for work.
What stands out to me is the pure quality of sound. I use them on conference calls and they work perfectly. Not only are the calls clear and crisp but everyone hears me clearly too.
When Im not on conference calls I listen to music and news on Youtube. All i can say is wow! Music through these buds is outstanding.
Battery life is pretty good. I had conference calls for over 5 hours and they just made it.
They fit well. I have changed the rubber tips to the largest ones and I find I can wear them for hours with no issues.
Positives:
Very easy set up
Great sound Quality
Comfortable.
Noise cancellation is pretty good
Negatives:
Expensive
Conclusion: If you can afford them, well worth the investment.
After a lot of hype and excitement, I’ve tried the new Jabra Elite 85t earbuds and I can say without doubt these are the best I’ve ever heard. The sound quality is superior which is aided by the Active Noise Cancelling feature with the option to switch to HearThrough mode by simply pressing the earbud. I was amazed how well it blocks out sounds from traffic when outside and even more rewarding when using it indoors as common distractions like juice blenders and loud chatting go unheard. These benefits are most noticeable when making and receiving calls. The clarity is so clear allowing me to stay in contact with clients in Zoom meetings.
Battery life on the Elite 85t lasts between 5.5 and 7.5 hours depending on the settings used. The battery management is great as it can be easily controlled on the app. Sleep Mode preserves battery life by turning off the buds when inactive anywhere between 15 minutes and 2 hours, whichever is preferred. The rest of the time I leave the buds in the case which is magnetized to keep them secure whilst they charge wirelessly. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0, once charged, my buds pair automatically with my smartphone, tablet or laptop, allowing me to get on with my day.
So if you want wireless earbuds, packed with loads of useful features in a tiny package with great sound, look no further than the Elite 85t.
Ho ricevuto gli auricolari Jabra un paio di settimane fa ed ho trascorso un periodo sufficiente per poter iniziare a parlarne elencando pregi e difetti del prodotto. La confezione abbastanza minimale, in perfetto stile eco-friendly e gi questo mi piaciuto.
All’interno troviamo gli auricolari nella custodia di ricarica, ben 3 coppie di eargel (i gommini in formato small, medium e large) che ci permettono di trovare il perfetto feeling con il prodotto, il cavetto per la connessione al pc/mac per la ricarica.
La prima cosa che ho fatto stata abbinarli al mio iPhone e dopo il rapido accoppiamento, mi stato proposto di scaricare l’applicazione dedicata (Jabra Sound+). Sinceramente pensavo che si trattasse di un’app “evitabile” ma mi sono subito dovuto ricredere… quest’app davvero ben fatta, permette di tarare gli auricolari esattamente sul nostro orecchio, ma come fa a fare tutto ci? Ve lo spiego subito.
All’interno dell’app ci sono moltissime funzioni “utili” per chi utilizza intensamente il prodotto per comunicazioni vocali e/o ascolto di musica; una di queste la funzione My Sound che permette di adattare il suono alle nostre orecchie: in pratica bisogna recarsi in un ambiente silenziosissimo, poi si fa partire la funzione e bisogna toccare lo schermo dello smartphone ogni volta che sentiamo un suono. In questo modo viene regolata la sensibilit dei suoni emessi dagli auricolari e soprattutto viene creato un profilo personalizzato per la riduzione attiva del rumore (funzione ANC, attivabile con i tastini laterali degli auricolari).
Dopo questa configurazione, l’app mi ha segnalato la presenza di un aggiornamento firmware e l’ho subito fatto fare, riponendo gli auricolari nella custodia. La procedura durata una ventina di minuti ed al termine iniziata la magia.
Ho indossato gli auricolari, regolato un po’ l’equalizzazione in base ai miei gusti ed ho iniziato a riprodurre musica, provando subito la sensazione di avere alle orecchie un prodotto di alta qualit.
Nei giorni seguenti ho iniziato ad usare gli auricolari per tutte le conversazioni telefoniche e, come immaginavo, gli interlocutori non hanno mai notato la presenza di “un auricolare esterno”… tutti mi hanno confermato di sentire benissimo il mio parlato.
La cosa che mi piaciuta tantissimo la possibilit di poter abbinare 2 dispositivi contemporaneamente. Fino ad oggi non ho trovato auricolari wireless migliori, nonostante mi sia sempre rivolto a prodotti di marchi blasonati.
Ringrazio Amazon che mi ha permesso di risolvere anche un problema accaduto con la prima spedizione di auricolari, servizio clienti sempre al TOP!
Amazing quality Earbuds as ever. Both audio and call quality live up to what I have come to expect from Jabra over the last few years.
Sound quality is very subjective but I have found these very clear and am quite happy with them. ANC I have found not very positive but that could be the fit which I have tried all the different sizes and in the end I am using the most comfortable. Biggest problem is that they are so neat in size and smooth that I find them difficult to handle and get out of the case. I do think sometimes design overtakes practicality and just a little less smooth finish would help in this department.
liked the ANC and hear through controls on this model! Only downside is the earbuds are a bit bigger than the75ts and therefore sit further outside the ear than the earlier model
The music quality is great, sound cancellation surprisingly effective and application even more surprisingly actually useful. Bunch of presets for the EQ that make it easy to play to the specific strengths of the music you’re listening to like bass or mid-range focussed songs. Only reproachable thing is that they don’t fit quite well enough in my ears. However, they do supply 3 different sizes of tip which is very thoughtful, although i suggest they implement wing tips in the next model. They’re a bit heavy so for working out i probably wouldn’t recommend but I haven’t tried it.
eally like these ear buds. I would definitely recommend them. They come in a natty little box which acts as a charging unit and easy storage case when your not using them which is fab. They are stylish and sleek. On top of that they have a range of ear gels different shapes and sizes so you can get a snug fit. Set up; This was super easy and quick. Totally surprised and they adjust the sound so it’s optimal for you. Use: I have to confess that I have not gotten to grips with what each button does as it’s a bit hard to remember and easy to cut Poe Poe off by mistake if you don’t remember. Apart from that the sound quality is amazing for calls and for music so I’d highly recommend them. For calls there are ace and can be paired to two devices which helps me no end. For running they’ve been great too, especially having no wires. And the snug fit means I’ve had no probs with them slipping out. For my work out hit sessions they have been slipping a little which is a bit frustrating.
I have been using many types of headphones & earbuds for many years now, both wired and bluetooth. I have multiple sets from different companies. In my opinion, there isn’t one set that is ideal for all types of listening. I like a big over-ear, ANC set for when I want to really chill-out on the sofa listening to music or gaming, I have a wirefree set for weightlifting and a studio quality wired set for when I’m mixing music and plugged into my DAC. The Jabra Elite 85T have very comforably replaced my weight lifting set. They have great, balanced sound and the active noise cancellation is something I’ve previously only had for my over the ear sets. These earbuds have managed to withstand quite a few workouts without budging from my ear canals, so big credit for that – The sound quality is very good for earbuds, I wasnt expecting the same as my full-blown headphones, but they come in pretty close. With ANC turned on, there can be a bit of interference from the wind when I went running, but in my gym they are perfect. I don’t really use them for calls, but I did test them out breifly. The results were good, I could hear clearly and my test caller also said I came through ery clear. The app on Android is great, I really enjoyed playing around with the sound stage and tweaking it to my liking. So much better than trying to push the equaliser in Spotify or the music player. Overall, I think they were a solid purchase for use during my workouts. I still will revert to my other headphones when playing games/listening to music in the house, as the sound-stage isn’t as wide and the ANC isn’t as clean as my headphones.
Ich habe die Earbuds jetzt mehr als ein Monat getestet und anfangs war ich auch sehr angetan. Im Vergleich zu meinem Bose SoundSport welche zu leise bzw. verbaut waren.
Der erste Eindruck der Verpackung und Produktqualitt war sehr gut, aber ehrlich die Verpackung trage ich nicht am Kopf also ist die nicht so wichtig.
Da dies meine ersten Earbuds sind hatte ich bedenken bzgl. Aufbewahrung und Verlust beim Tragen. Bei der Aufbewahrung war ich sehr positiv berrascht. Die Ladebox hat magnetische Halterungen die den Buds immer in die richtige Position bringen und die Buds immer aufgeladen vor hlt. Auch das einstecken dieser und damit ein sicherer und verlustfreier Transport ist damit gegeben.
Anfangs nach dem ich alle 3 Silikon Gren durchprobiert hatte war ich erfreut wie gut die Earbuds in den Ohren halten. Aber nach lnger Nutzung stellte sich heraus das diese in meinen Ohren nur gut halten solange ich mich nicht vorbeuge und/oder etwas meine Ohren berhrte (Kaputze, Mtze, Jacke…). Dann konnte es vorkommen das sich einer der Earbuds lockerte und die Chancen ganz gut standen das dieser runter fiel. Da mir das mehrere male passiert ist in komplett unterschiedlichen Situation und mir das Risiko zu hoch war 200+ Euro Kopfhrer zu verlieren habe ich diese nach einem Support Telefonat mit Jabra zurckgeschickt. Fr Menschen mit einer passenderen Ohr Form trifft diese Problem wohl nicht zu.
Thema ANC, ja ist ganz nett und hat viele Vorteile allerdings ist es nicht perfekt (gut was ist schon perfekt). Aber entlang einer stark befahrenen Strae zu gehen knnte besser gefiltert werden. Hear Thru hrt sich leider auch nicht sehr echt an. Da gefhlt das Rauschen mehr verstrkt wird als andere Gerusche. Da die Buds das Ohr sehr gut abschlieen ist es unangenehm ohne Hear Thru und ohne anderen Ton also quasi ausgeschalten zu tragen.
Etwas was ich nicht ganz verstehe bzw. anscheinend nicht untersttzt wird ist das ANC nicht auch fr das Mikrophone verwendet wird. Beispiel ich gehe neben eine Bahnstrecke und ein Zug fhrt vorbei, dank ANC hre ich diesen kaum, aber mein Gesprchspartner versteht mich nicht mehr.
Die App ist ganz gut auch das Einmessen der beiden Ohren funktioniert sehr einfach. Die Konfiguration der Knpfe passt auch.
Fazit ich habe lange versucht die Earbuds so hin zu bekommen das sie in meinen Ohren bombenfest drinnen stecken und nicht aus versehen rausfallen knnen. Ich wollte diese wirklich behalten da alle anderen Eigenschaften ziemlich gut sind. Nur leider ist mir die Gefahr zu hoch einen davon zu verlieren. Aber ich vermute das kommt ganz auf die Ohrmuschel an.
Very happy to have Jabra85t
First of all sound quality:
Let me review sound quality as it matters most when you buy any earphones
The sound quality is excellent
All the highs and mids and lows very clear
The good thing is you can control the sound via app it has worked as treat for me compared to my previous earphones.
Bass is punchy but not over powering treble very clear without being too noisy.
Overall I am over the moon with Jabra earphone
I finally found something I have been waiting for
Charging:
The case charges with earphones around 7-8 times for me and cherry on the cake is that you can charge the case wirelessly.
Build quality is excellent too it has good weight to it.
Water resistance: I worked out few times on my treadmill and did sweat as lot but it hasn’t affected the Jabra 85t and it did not fall.
I managed to get snug fit with the help of extra earbuds provided.
Overall I am very pleased with the product and I can recommend to anyone who is interested in good sound quality wireless earphones.
Ich habe den Vergleichstest “Kabellose Ohrhrer” auf Spiegel online gelesen und mich hat keiner berzeugt, da habe ich auf Verdacht mir Ohrhrer der selben Marke bestellt, die ich auch im Office (Headset mit Kopfbgel) benutze und die perfekt funktionieren.
Positiv:
-ich habe einen Horror vor dem Einrichten neuer Hardware und insbesondere bei den Versuchen, Hardware mit kabellosen Funkverbindungen einzurichten einige Blutdruckkrisen mit Fluchen erlebt. Hier muss man eine App runterladen, diese fhrt einen individuellen Hrtest durch (ob der was bringt , ma waa es net), die weiteren Instruktionen sind sehr kurz und klar (in korrektem Deutsch!), die Bedienung denkbar einfach, ich bin super-erleichtert und begeistert, funktioniert alles wie es soll
-der Klang ist bestens, ich hre bei meiner Playlist beim Musik hren manchmal Einzelheiten heraus, die ich noch nie gehrt habe
-funktioniert auch mit einem Ohrhrer (dem rechten), da ich oft Musik oder Hrbcher beim Auto fahren hre, ist das natrlich bestens
-die Verarbeitung ist 1a, die Ohrhrer fitten in die kleine Ladeschachtel perfekt, wirkt alles sehr durchdacht, Ladezustand wird ber die Farbe der LED angezeigt, einfach, funktionell und sehr edel, mir gefllts
-die Ohrhrer werden mit aufgesteckten weichen Ohrstpseln geliefert, die bei mir perfekt passen, war ich berrascht, dass die nicht rausfallen (bin auch schon 100m damit gelaufen, Kopfschtteln geht auch ohne (R)Ausflle), es wird noch eine kleinere und eine grere Gre der Einstze mitgeliefert
-es gibt noch eine Funktion, die ich vielleicht berhrt habe bei den Instruktionen und schon vermisst habe: beim abhren der Playlist auf den nchsten Song schalten (wenn ich mal gerade keine Lust auf Rammstein habe): Doppelklick auf linken Ohrhrer
-der Tagekomfort ist bei mir perfekt, auch nach mehreren Stunden
-zu den Akkulaufzeiten kann ich nichts sagen, auch nach mehrtgigem mehrstndigen Hren kein Ende in Sicht, wenn man sie zwischenzeitlich die Box tut, in der sie ja wieder aufgeladen werden
Neutral:
-der Ohrhrer kommuniziert mit mir in Englisch: “connected..(un-)muted…hear-through/noise-cancelling”, geht bei mir, aber wer jetzt kein Englisch kann…
-zwischen noise.cancelling-Modus und hear-through hre ich jetzt nahezu keinen Unterschied, hier kein Vergleich zu dem System von Bose (hatte ich vorher) aber da ich es nicht benutze, wozu?…
Insgesamt liebe ich die Teile, also warum nur 4 Sterne?
In unserer Zeit Dinge zu produzieren, bei denen man das gesamte Gert verschrotten muss, wenn was mit den Akku ist, den man nicht so einfach austauschen kann, ne Leute, bei aller Liebe, dafr einen Stern Abzug.
Bought as a xmas present. Recipient delighted with their performance so far and have been extensively used inside and out.
These earphones are brilliant. I have always been put off full wireless earbuds because of poor battery length, poor sound quality, large size that stick out of your ears and look silly. The Jabra Elite 85t change that for me. These have proven to be a brilliant set of earbuds and I have really enjoyed my first few weeks with them.
Packaging: The packaging is nice, compact and displays the product well. It is significant and thick enough to protect the product and looks sleek.
Appearance: The earbuds look great, I am a big fan of the colour and fairy minimal looks. They are small and look fantastic when compared against many other wireless earbuds. The fee and fit: The earbuds feel well build and sleek. In the ear they are very comfortable, much more comfortable than the 75t when listening for long periods. They feel secure in the ear, but slightly less secure than the previous version which had a stronger hold in the ear. I do like the 85t, but would be cautious if using them for outdoor exercise.
The sound: I really like the sound, they’re excellent. As per other reviews, they are well balanced on the sound front. The ability to manage the eq is a real plus point and allows you to adjust them to your personal taste. I have a range of settings based on what I am listening to.
Noise cancellation: dedicated ANC is fairly good. Could be slightly better and I am sure there are some headphones out there that cancel slightly more noise but these are fairly good. I do wonder whether one of my earbuds doesn’t fit securely enough as I was expecting slightly better ANC overall. Hear through function works well when you want to let some out the outside world in.
The case: The charging case looks really good and feels good in the hand. It has a nice magnetic feel when opening/closing and the earbuds slot easily in. Charges perfectly and it is a good size, easy to carry round and fit in a pocket. The case gives loads of extra battery life and keeps the earbuds going for ages. Wireless charging is a great feature. Call quality: Call quality is good, had no issues with people being able to hear me and I am able to chat on the move and in fairly noisy place.
Overall: Very happy with these and I would recommend them to others. They are expensive at 220 and at that price point I do think they could have more enhanced features such as APT-X, and the ability to use either earphone independently.
Pretty sure these are one of the best earphones out on the market, the sound quality is amazing and the sound cancelation is amazing the battery life could be improved but for a size probably it could be difficult but overall I’m very happy and impressed
I used the Jabra earbuds on my meetings when my kids where running around and it was much better than anything else I used before I was able to turn the noise level dowm
So I got these for my husband to try as he works in a noisy environment and also often goes out running. He’s had wireless earphones before but hasn’t found any worth while. After trailing these he has found them excellent and stay in place when he is running. The noise cancelling aspect is great and he can listen to his music when working without any interference. I’ve rang him a couple of times when he’s been using them and I couldn’t tell that he was talking using the earphones as there was no interference and I could hear him really clearly. These are expensive but after having the 75t and also now trialling the 85t I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them again in the future.
Good sturdy packaging, easy to follow quick start guide in box. The headphones case is solid, weighty in your hand or pocket and well made but a bit slippery to handle. The Sounds+ app guides you through the process of setting up well, I didn’t need to concentrate on following instructions. The sound balance test was interesting and means that I get stereo in the middle of my head and not to one side as I do with wired headphones, obviously clever software compensating for some difference in each ear. I have listened to music, rock, pop and classical. There is good bass and I heard bits of a Fleetwood Mac track that I’ve never picked up before! I listen to a lot of podcasts live speech radio and sports commentaries, the headphones are good at this too. The noise cancelling is great, I will need to experiment more on a car journey or out walking, but it is good indoors at cutting speech or a TV. Being able to touch the left ear-pod to toggle ANC with HearThrough is great. The microphone picks up speech well when i have made calls and the the ability to change the amount of your own voice that you here, Sidetone, is an excellent function. I have used the 85Ts around my house and so far not had any bluetooth issues, the signal pickup is strong.
First and foremost, the sound. This is the hardest topic as it has a lot to do with personal preference and the music you listen to. The most high level description I could think of would be to describe them as being more like close back headphones than open back. They have 12mm drivers which produces more bass than most IEMs. This makes them ideal for electronic music, pop, other bass heavy music.
They are also great for watching movies & series. After playing with the Jabra App I was able to EQ the 85t to sound great with acoustic music too. Out the box I think they are a little bass heavy for some Instrumental genres but that’s where the App comes in handy.
The noise cancelling is great, I tested it against a few other noise cancelling headphones and I couldn’t pick a winner. This isn’t a bad thing as the others are known to be some of the best. I found while making calls the Jabra did a fantastic job, having all those microphones sure helps out. Even made a few calls while walking by a breezy river and didn’t have any issues.
Jabra have the Exercise category covered, they are splash proof (IPX4 rated), so a little bit of sweat should be fine. They also have a great fit and don’t protrude much so the centre of gravity is closer to the head. This helps them keep in place during workouts. I didn’t have any issues with the Jabra throughout a workout unlike my previous earphones. The Jabra I could put in and forget about.
The other thing I really liked about the Jabra are the physical buttons, they are much harder to accidently press whereas my other earphones are touch sensitive so while adjusting them, there is a good chance of accidently changing the settings. Some people think physical buttons are outdated but not in this case.
I was expecting big things from the Jabra 85t earbuds and was not disappointed. It is a crowded market out there and I think these earbuds have most boxes ticked and I was particularly impressed with how they perform when using a mobile phone. There is very little interference or background noise which makes making calls using the 85t’s very easy. The critical thing for me when listening to music is the quality of the bass which so often lets earbuds down but the 85t’s are superb with plenty of volume available via the Jabra app. The app is very easy to navigate complete with a hearing test included to closely match your hearing with the earbuds capability. It may be my hearing limitations but I was slightly disappointed with the noise reduction facility which was not as effective as I was expecting and I could not notice much difference with same applying to the Hear Through facility. However, this was the only slight downside and more than compensated by the comfortable fit and sound quality. So in summary, a great pair of earbuds with good sound quality and as you would expect from a company like Jabra , very compatible with phone use.
Pros:
– Can get through a really long day of conference calls no problem, as long as you get the occasional charge in between meetings
– Great natural sound for music. Maybe a touch base heavy, but it’s generally well controlled and a massive improvement over the 75t that I trialled and sent back
– Really great call quality, can adjust treble to get it clearer too. Unwanted noise filtering also works really well, I can touch just one bud or even both quite a bit to adjust, press buttons etc and almost nothing gets through to the call! Wind noise is not entirely eliminated, but it still does a pretty damned good job of it.
– Great ANC, really excellent, I am sure it is best in class. Side-tone and hear-through are also nice to have, and work well.
– Just the right size and weight, don’t feel like they’re even going to fall out and really comfortable
– Connects almost instantly to everything and the ability to connect to 2 things at once also just works! Much better than some other implementations I have come across that are inconsistent (only caveat is I think it can be a bit hit and miss with Bluetooth 3 and lower, 4 and above work flawlessly)!
Cons:
– Right bud discharges faster then the left, but only by a bit (inevitable as phone connects to right, then connects to left), but since only the right can be used on it’s own, this can be a problem if the right dies first (usually barely any left on the left anyway at this point so not really an issue in reality)
– Case charge level doesn’t update in the app, unless you put some earphones into it
– No AptX
I’m quite picky when it comes to my tech and these ticked all the boxes. They just work and the fast connection to multiple devices and good call/music quality and top notch ANC make these a solid choice!
Using the Jabra 85t has been a great experience. Firstly I would like to say for having immense sound quality you have to have either hear through or ANC turned off. However the hear through feature is really effective while walking to work something I couldn’t experience before while listening to music before due to being less aware of my surroundings. The ANC is very impressive even while on the train I can’t even hear the sound it makes when ANC is turned on. I recommend these headphone for people who like EDM, bassy type music. The battery life is great, I haven’t even charged the main carry box yet. In regards to the call quality I did not have any problems with this and I like the fact that the earpods activates hear through when you answer a call. The earpods fit my ear quite well, they haven’t fallen out of my ear like previous ones did. Its must have if your looking for premium earpods
The Jabra 85t arrived in sleek packaging that ensures they’re protected but importantly not packaging that requires a genius to be able to get into!
I quickly set about installing the Jabra “Sound+” app and they paired immediately with my Android handset. The app guides you through a rudimentary hearing test to tailor the EQ to match your individual ears (left and right are done separately which is a nice touch). The sound is very clear and well defined. The bass is punchy without being over the top as can be found with some earbuds. All the time the mids and high tones are very clear and you soon forget you are listening through in-ear devices.
At times I felt that I wanted just a little bit more in terms of volume but not a huge problem. I have in ear devices from a couple of leading manufacturers and the Jabra 85t really do excel in comparison in most areas. The buttons are physical which is refreshing as so many manufacturers decide to go to touch interfaces. Touch is no good with running gloves on and I find you keep accidentally pressing (touching) buttons.
The operation of buttons is intuitive and customisable. Both of my other earbuds have noise *isolation* but these have Active Noise Cancellation and you really can tell the difference. Switch it on and you are whisked away to a place of silence and tranquillity, it seems some high pitch sounds make it through but it really is remarkable. What impressed even more is the pass through mode where you can hear your surroundings. For the first time ever this actually works and is seamless, there is no delay or echo or artificial sound to it; it really does sound like you haven’t got any obstruction in your ear.
The fit is comfortable but a little too big for my liking, they do feel like they wouldn’t be stable for a long run in driving winter rain, I switched to the smallest attachments which made them more comfortable but still not 100%, maybe my confidence will build with time!
Initially I found a little difficulty in the left earbud maintaining a connection with the right but Jabra were excellent and their support switched the faulty product without hassle. The other disappointing thing is that only the right earbud can be used in single mono mode and not either left or right unlike other offerings in this arena.
Battery life 5 stars! Sound quality 4, noice cancellation 3 stars (app still have bugs, even after the update)
I have been using the Jabra elite 75t for a few weeks now. I use headphones for multiple web calls a day for work and also to listen to music whilst at the gym. The instructions and set up were really easy to follow on multiple apple/android/Windows devices and I like that you can have 2 connected at any one time as I means I can generally keep my work phone and computer connected. I found the controls easy to use and remember for volume, hear through etc. And have found hear through settings very good when working at home whilst looking after my little girl. Whilsy connected to my mobiles I can use the dull range of controls however when connected to my Surface Pro via for calls Via teams I found you lost some control for muting etc. As it was connected for media purposes and not for call functions but I think that would be the same with any wireless earbuds. I have found the earphones very comfortable to wear and think they look quite smart too as you don’t have over ear elements although they feel secure and no sticks picking down. Despite being small they feel firm and havent come loose once yet even when exercising. I am also very impressed with the sound. It is very clear and the hear through function is brilliantly clear also. Another big bonus for me has been the battery life. I use them hours each day mid week and tend to only have them plugged in for some time at the start of the week and replace onto their case after each use. Battery hasnt even dropped from green yet. The only downsides for me are you can only use the right earbud alone. If I’m using just 1 I can really feel it at the end of the day if it has always been the same one. Also the lack of ability to control call controls on Teams calls. Otherwise I am very impressed

Whilsy connected to my mobiles I can use the dull range of controls however when connected to my Surface Pro via for calls Via teams I found you lost some control for muting etc. As it was connected for media purposes and not for call functions but I think that would be the same with any wireless earbuds. I have found the earphones very comfortable to wear and think they look quite smart too as you don’t have over ear elements although they feel secure and no sticks picking down. Despite being small they feel firm and havent come loose once yet even when exercising. I am also very impressed with the sound. It is very clear and the hear through function is brilliantly clear also. Another big bonus for me has been the battery life. I use them hours each day mid week and tend to only have them plugged in for some time at the start of the week and replace onto their case after each use. Battery hasnt even dropped from green yet. The only downsides for me are you can only use the right earbud alone. If I’m using just 1 I can really feel it at the end of the day if it has always been the same one. Also the lack of ability to control call controls on Teams calls. Otherwise I am very impressed
Jabra testimonial
The Jabra Elite 85t is my first ever product from Jabra. I have used TWS earphones from other notable brands, so I did have a good idea of how other earphones perform.
The unboxing experience of the Elite 85t is nothing extraordinary. You are greeted with the earphones case, the two earphones, a USB-C wire, and two extra pairs of ear tips.
I was prompted to download the Jabra app on my mobile phone. This is one of the strong points of these earphones — the accompanying app is a solid bit of software. There are a lot of personalisation options in the app with a solid equaliser.
One of the points that I personally dislike are the buttons on the earphones. For me, other brands have more intuitive ways to adjust the volume and skip tracks etc. Similarly, tapping on the left buds only cycles through ANC and hearthrough, but no option to turn either of these off. To turn off both systems, you would have to manually go into the app and switch them off.
Another software bug for me is the continuous notification of finding your Jabra. This persistent notification often plagues my phone and the only way to remove this is go force stop the app.
In relation to the sounds, the Jabra have incredible sound and the ANC is a major bonus.
However, I have found the earphones to not fit into my ears as well as other TWS earphones and I have even switched tips but they are not snug enough in my ears.
I acquired the Jabra Elite 85t ear buds as an early Christmas present for my wife to use.
She could not have been more thrilled.
The Jabra Elite 85t ear buds are easy to use and set up. They easily linked to her android phone, with simple and easy step by step clear instructions.
She especially likes the active noise cancellation aspect — it really does cut out the noise — so much so she can’t hear me talking/calling her!
She states the sound quality is absolutely excellent. They are by far the best ear phones she has ever used. She loves listening to her relaxation music and meditation tracks; they are perfect for this with the active noise cancellation feature.
She also really liked in the set up where the sound is tailored to each of her ears. She appreciates the fact that she can decide to listen to a podcast on her phone, on the go about the house, whilst leaving her phone downstairs she can continue listening to the podcast through her ear phones when still upstairs or around the house with the same quality sound!
The ear buds are fairly comfortable with a choice of three covers– She used the smallest ear buds and they are perfect.
The battery life seems good; with the only downside she found, is the small length of cable supplied for charging the charging case. The case itself is very robust, smart looking, pocket size and neat; it’s got good functionality with different coloured lights indicating the state of the battery life.
All in all an excellent quality product, one I would thoroughly recommend well worth the money.
These earbuds are the best sounding wireless earbuds that I have tried so far. The app makes it so easy to adjust the sound to your individual taste. The noise cancelling is also great for an earbud and cancels out most of the surrounding noise. The only issue that I have found is that the fit is not as secure as some other earbuds because of the oval shape of the silicone tips, however they are extremely comfortable and you hardly notice that you are wearing them. They are not suitable for active workouts, but they are secure enough for everyday use and light jogging. The case can be wirelessly charged, which is a a great feature as well as USB C.
I highly recommend these and I will be purchasing a different colour next month when they are released.
When I first unwrapped the product, I was somewhat dubious. I already own a set of Jabra 85t which I use for training but always had difficulty with the fit. I needn’t have worried because as soon as I started using the Jabra Elite 7 Pro I was amazed that Jabra could actually improve the sound quality. The sound quality is awesome and the noise cancelling is superb. I have promoted them to primary headphones and actually started using them for work instead of my traditional boom headphones and colleagues have commented on the sound quality of the mics. In terms of flexibility, the benefit of having a wireless charging case is great as I put them on a charge pad and forget about them. I use my charge pad which I use for my phone, so no need for multiple charge cables. Overall I’m really impressed at the versatility of these ear buds and the sound quality. Yet again another great product from Jabra!!
These are my first set of wireless earphones, my current ones are Beats X which I am happy with sound wise but I tend to have one earphone in most of the day & the wire can be a pain & get caught up. First impressions of the Jabra 85t earphones is great, very neat, compact case. They look smart & are comfortable to wear, I’ve not had a chance to wear them out for a run yet which will be a deal breaker for me. They are simple to use & sound quality is good. Battery life is also impressive. Overall I’m very happy with them so far, I will update once I’ve used them for a bit longer but so far so good & I would definitely recommend them.
These are the best wireless ear buds I have tried, and over the years I have tried lots. They fit very well, after the correct sized bud has been fitted, and they actually stay in place. Sound quality is great, noise cancelling works very well , and making and receiving calls has so far been fine. My main usage has been outside walking and running through the delights of a Scottish winter, so I can’t comment on how they perform in hot sweaty environments, but so far so good and I thoroughly recommend these buds.
The first thing I noticed when I received my Jabra Elite 85ts, was the quality and attention to detail. They have a premium price tag, and first impressions match up to that! I was looking for a top quality pair of wireless headphones, that looked the part and also had the sound quality I would expect from Jabra. The 85ts didn’t disappoint! The sound quality is excellent. I was skeptical at first, as these are my first pair of wireless headphones. But the adjustable EQ and in-ear seal is outstanding, and really allowed me to get the perfect sound. The buttons on each earpiece have incredibly useful functionality – From skipping, changing volume, answering and declining calls. To turning the Active Noise Cancellation on and off. I’ve used all of these features multiple times while using the headphones. The battery life and charging case are both great too. I find I can get a good 8-10 hours of battery life out of the earpieces, which is more than enough for my daily use. The case having its own internal battery is there are a backup too, in case they do start to run low. The app is a nice feature, allowing flexible control over the EQ and some of the sound settings for the headphones. I would have liked a little more control though, to boost the lows and highs of the frequency range, but that’s just me being critical. Overall, I’m super impressed and happy with the 85ts. They’re comfortable, they stay in when moving and even doing exercise. They have fantastic sound quality and the noise cancellation is top notch!
The Jabra Elite 85T’s are a premium set of earbuds that have quickly become my ‘go to’ earphones. The superb sound and comfortable ‘all day’ fit make them an easy recommendation for almost any situation.
On opening the box you’re presented with the buds, three sizes of ear tips and the carry case. My immediate impression was that the buds have clearly had a lot of thought put into their design. Sculpted to sit perfectly in the ear, the shells are moulded from a high-quality plastic with metallic paint finish to keep them both light and attractive. As a result they are extremely comfortable to wear, with minimal pressure on the ear canal while still providing a secure fit even when used during exercise (in my case, jogging!).
Each bud has a single click-style button that can be tailored to function to your liking using the Jabra Sound+ app. Jabra has clearly knocked it out of the park with Sound+, with a slick user interface it provides intuitive access and rich context to the panoply of features offered by the 85T’s. These include, but are not limited to, adjustable or pre-set EQ profiles, active noise cancellation and ‘HearThrough’ (ambient) sound modes and a nifty Find My Jabra function to help work out where you left them last.
The 85T’s have a respectable battery life, but when they do need a charge the buds nestle securely in the case using strong magnets. The case itself is compact and sturdy, with a rubberised finish that provides a degree of scratch resistance. The case also comes packed with features and includes not only wireless charging but a quick charge feature that provides ~70 mins of use from a 15 min charge.
I have found that they consistently sound fantastic across wide range of music genres, films and podcasts. While they naturally excel in reproducing low-end sound, this can easily be adjusted to fit anyone’s preferred sound profile using the EQ settings. Having taken consideration of the hardware, software, features, usability and sound I’m pleased to be able to resoundingly recommend the 85T’s!
Die Jabra Elite 85t Bluetooth-Kopfhrer knnen ab dem ersten Eindruck berzeugen. Beginnend mit der Verpackung, ber das Aufbewarungs-Case , bis hin zur kompletten Verarbeitung.
Zur App:
Die Jabra App “Sound+” ist gut aufgerumt und leicht zu verstehen. Sie zeigt dem Nutzer das Wichtigste an (z. B. Akkustand, Sound-Modus, Einstellungen) und bietet darber hinaus noch ein paar Zusatzfunktionen (“Find-my-Jabra”, Kurzanleitung). Updates knnen leicht heruntergeladen und durch einfache Beschreibungen durchgefhrt werden.
Zur Passform:
Sehr positiv von Anfang an. Die Kopfhrer sitzen schn fest im Ohr und lassen sich angenehm tragen – auch nach lngerer Tragezeit keine Probleme. Neben den bereits angebrachten “Gummis”, liefert Jabra noch zwei weitere Gren mit – fr jedes Ohr also was dabei.
Zum Klang:
Nach individueller Anpassung der Audiowiedergabe (“MySound” ber die App) war der Gesang sehr sauber – egal welches Genre. Der Bass ist fr mich persnlich fast perfekt, da er das Lied untersttzt und nicht in den Hintergrund drckt. Der Klang ist ber die App aber auch jederzeit anpassbar. Dieser positive Eindruck bleibt auch grenteils beim Telefonieren. Sowohl ich als auch mein Gesprchspartner konnten sich ber die Gesprchsqualitt nicht beklagen. Auch wenn ich mich ein paar Meter vom Handy weg bewegte, hrte man mich stets klar und deutlich.
Aktive Geruschunterdrckung (ANC) und HearThrough:
Sowohl ber die App als auch an den Kopfhrern selbst kann zwischen diesen Modis jederzeit hin und her gewechselt werden. Der Sound-Modus ANC schottet einen gut ab, um sich voll und ganz auf den Klang oder auf das Gesprch konzentrieren zu knnen. “HearThrough” – Hier werden Umgebungstne gewollt auf die Ohren gepackt. Trotz leichter Musik auf den Ohren ist es mglich kurze Gesprche zu fhren – ohne den Gegenber anzuschreien. Auch bei verschiedensten Aktivitten praktisch, da man seine Umwelt weiterhin war nimmt.
Akku:
Die Akkuleistung der Jabra 85t ist sehr gut und sorgt fr mehrere Stunden Musik/Gesprchszeit. Anschlieend knnen die Jabra induktiv (kabellos) oder durch das mitgelieferte USB-C Kabel (ber das Case) wieder aufladen werden.
Fazit:
Fr den gehobenen Preis von ca. 229 Euro bekommt man mit den Jabra Elite 85t kabellose Kopfhrer in TOP-Qualitt, die durch eine hochwertig Verarbeitung, einer angenehmen Passform und einer sehr guten Klang- und Bassqualitt berzeugen.
The first impression of the Jabra Elite 85t was WOW! The sound was fantastic, extremely comfortable to wear, and ANC worked very well. Now nearly 3 weeks in and my option hasn’t changed a bit and I love them even more.
First the sound, I wasn’t expecting the sound quality like this mainly because of their sizes. Sound is something that can be subjective but this is definitely the best in-ear sound quality I have ever heard and the most expensive in-ear I have used was Beats by Dr. Dre UrBeats. I tend to use my QC35 for music and movies and only use in-ear while I am on the move. The QC35 still has better sound quality but I haven’t touched it for the past 3 weeks and I don’t notice the difference in sound quality if I don’t compare them side by side.
These are also very comfortable to wear. They are very light and after a while, you forgot their existence. As mentioned, I don’t usually wear in-ear for a longer period of time, partly due to their sound quality and partly due to comfort. My ear canals started to hurt about an hour but it is not a problem with the Jabra. I finished tenet wearing them. They also look very good, subtle, non-intrusive and blend in with everything.
The ANC worked very well, it filters out most of the road noises when Iam out running. I have tried Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, SONY WF-1000XM3 and of course the AirPod pro. Again, without a scientific test, I think the Jabra is slightly behind the Bose and Sony but ahead of the AirPods.
I would also like to comment on the button rather than touch controls as there are people complaining about about them. I actually like them, especially when wearing them under a hoody while out running. Touch controls don’t work under those scenarios.
Ok now the questions, why this over Bose, Sony or Apple, here are my view
Sound quality Comfort ANC looks
Jabra 4 5 3 4
Bose 4 4 4 3
Sony 5 4 3 3
Apple 4 4 3 2
Jabra may not be the best in most categories, it’s the second best in most categories. As an all-rounder, it wins hands down.
Having owned a few other sets of wireless earbuds (including the previous model, the Elite 75t’s), I had one or two gripes with each set that I was hoping the Jabra Elite 85t’s would quash. I was hoping they would tick all the main boxes: sound quality, fit, and battery life.
On first impression, I was worried that the Elite 75ts weren’t going to stay in my ears very well, as they lacked the “fin” that other buds have, which when twisted upon insertion, lock into the natural shape of the ear. However they do still have a “twist” method of insertion in the ears, staying in place (as far as I gather) with just very good moulding of the body of the headphone into the concha. I did find them to sometimes require a little “relocking” during running sessions (especially the left bud, though over the years I’ve come to the conclusion I just have a weirdly shaped left ear). The silicone earpiece is now an ovular shape, which Jabra states gives a better seal in your ear canal.
The Jabras also sound excellent, much improved over even the 75t’s (which were already great), thanks to the increased driver size. They are a little bass heavy, but this can be adjusted in the Jabra Sound+ app, which provides a decent equaliser to tinker to your preference of bass, mids and trebles.
Passthrough mode returns from the 75t’s, but Jabra have also added ANC with the 85t’s. Not commuting these days, I’ve not been able to give the earphones the most ideal test, but they have worked as well as other ANC headphones that I’ve got in my testing around the house.
Battery life on the Jabras is also the best I’ve come across on any wireless buds so far – I think I’ve only charged the case once with a week of fairly heavy use. Jabra claims 7.5 hours with the buds themselves and another 28 hours in the case, and I believe that. The case has also been improved over the 75t’s as it can now be charged wirelessly.
Overall, the Jabra Elite 85t true wireless earbuds are excellent wireless earbuds and very worthy of the praise they have been receiving. Fit feels nice, sound is excellent, and with the addition of ANC and a wireless case they are a worthy upgrade over previous generations.
Bereits der erste Eindruck des Produktes, die Verpackung, macht einen tollen Eindruck.
Lieferumfang
Beim Auspacken kommt das Ladecase samt den zwei Ohrhrern, Ein USB-C-Kabel, Ohrsteckeraufstze in drei verschiedenen Gren und die Bedienungsanleitung zum Vorschein.
Ladecase
Das Ladecase sieht super aus und hat eine gute Gre, sodass sie in die Hosentasche passt. In ihr sitzen die InEars fest und sicher, nichts wackelt herum, auch, wenn man das Case etwas schttelt. Ein groer Pluspunkt: Man kann es induktiv Laden. Ich stell es einfach ab und zu auf meine Ladeplatte und so ist mir noch nie die Energie ausgegangen. Unkomplizierter geht es wohl nicht. Eine LED zeigt zudem bei jedem ffnen und Schlieen an, wie viel Restenergie noch vorhanden ist.
InEars
Durch die mitgelieferten Ohrsteckeraufstze knnen verschiedene Ohrgren abgedeckt werden. Ich schwankte ein paar Tage zwischen zwei Gren. Da muss jeder ausprobieren, gerne auch ber mehrere Tage, welche am besten passen. Bei mir sitzen die InEars fest und sicher, gleichzeitig sind sie bequem. Vom Tragekomfort gefallen sie mir.
Die Umsetzung mit richtigen Tasten fand ich anfangs befremdlich, drckt man dabei doch immer den InEar in Richtung Ohr, aber ber die mehreren Wochen, die ich sie jetzt habe, gefllt mir das immer besser. Man hat eine direkte Rckmeldung beim Klicken und muss sie auch nicht so stark drcken, dass der InEar ins Ohr drckt.
ANC
Ich hatte vorher OverEar-Kopfhrer, die ich nur selten benutzt habe. Hier hatte ich das Problem, dass das ANC bei mir Kopfschmerzen verursacht hat. Ich wei nicht, womit das zusammenhing, aber das trbte leider jede Benutzung der Kopfhrer. Bei den Jabras ist das glcklicherweise anders. Hier kann ich es ohne Probleme verwenden. Und es funktioniert wirklich gut. Ich habe mich in einer Grostadt in der Rush-Hour an eine Hauptverkehrsachse gestellt. Von dem vielen Verkehrslrm war so gut wie nichts zu hren.
Klang
Ich bin Musikstudent und daher sehr kritisch, was Lautsprecher und Kopfhrer angeht. Die Jabras konnten mich hier aber berzeugen. Sowohl Klassik, Rock, Pop, alles klingt wirklich gut. In der zugehrigen App kann im Equalizer selbst etwas am Klang verndert werden. Das funktioniert gut und ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Die Bsse sind stark, manch einer kritisiert sie als zu stark, aber ich finde sie perfekt. So ein satter Bass macht einfach nur Spa. Wenn man ihn nicht braucht, regelt man die Tiefen in der App eben etwas herunter.
Die Telefonfunktion habe ich ausprobiert. Ich verstehe den anderen gut, er versteht mich gut. Also alles in Ordnung.
Fazit:
Fr mich, der von klassischer Musik bis Hardrock alles hrt, sind die Jabra Elite 85t bestens geeignet, ich bin froh, mich fr dieses Modell entschieden zu haben. Die Klangqualitt ist berragend und ich bin bis jetzt sehr zufrieden.
Beim Auspacken stellte sich schon so ein kleines Aha-Gefhl ein, rein optisch gesehen machen die Kopfhrer samt Case schon was her. Nun aber erst einmal aufgeladen, damit der Test losgehen kann. Das Koppeln gestaltete sich sehr einfach. Gleichzeitig habe ich die Jabra App installiert. Diese ist notwendig, um gewissen Einstellungen vornehmen kann und um die Software der Kopfhrer zu updaten. Eine Anleitung bentigt man nicht, es ist alles soweit selbsterklrend. So nun geht’s ans probieren. Die Passform ist in Ordnung, allerdings sitzen Sie doch etwas locker (trotz der grten EarGels). Nun zum Klang. Der ist wirklich sehr gut und durch den Equalizer in der App an die Bedrfnisse anpassbar. Die Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) ist nicht so stark wie z.B. bei den FreeBuds, allerdings hat man bei den Elite 85t den Vorteil, die Strke ist anpassbar und was fr mich viel wichtiger ist, das Rauschen ist im Vergleich zu Konkurrenzprodukten sehr niedrig. Der HearTrough Mode verstrkt die Auengerusche etwas und ist ganz ntzlich, wenn man von der Umgebung etwas mitbekommen will. Auch hier ist die Intensitt ist in der App anpassbar, was wirklich toll ist. Der allergrte Vorteil der Jabra Elite 85t ist, man kann beide Modi auch im Freien nutzen. Man hat keine strenden Windgerusche. Auch als normales Headset funktionieren die Kopfhrer super, mein Gegenber konnte mich immer sehr gut verstehen. Die Akkulaufzeit und auch die Ladezeiten sind super, ber den Tag komme ich locker mit den Kopfhrern. Was ich allerdings Schade finde, ist das Jabra sich keine Farben traut. Hier knnte man mal etwas mutiger sein und Akzente setzen. Neben den Kopfhrer ist auch die App ein wirklich gewichtiges Kaufargument. Diese ist sehr strukturiert und sauber aufgebaut. Man kann wirklich sehr viel einstellen – Equalizer, Strke des ANC und Awareness Mode. Ein kleines aber feines Schmankerl” ist wie ich finde Soundscape. Das kann man z.B. bei Meditation nutzen oder wenn man Ruhe haben und etwas abschalten will. Hier gibt es verschiedene Gerusche, die man sich anhren kann. Ich habe z.B. ab und zu mal die Ocean Waves genossen.
Leider gibt es auch einen kleinen Minuspunkt. Bei mir sitzen die InEars nicht sehr gut (drcken mit der Zeit etwas) und Sie sind mir schon ein paar Mal aus dem Ohr gefallen. Ich habe zwar auch die anderen EarGels probiert, die sind aber allesamt etwas kleiner, was die Problematik eher verstrkt. Da der Sitz im Ohr natrlich auch etwas mit der Anatomie eures Ohres zu tun hat, kann natrlich sein, dass Ihr die Probleme nicht habt. Daher einfach mal probieren.
Pro:
– Schnes schlankes Case
– Ausgewogener Klang
– Akkulaufzeit
– Sehr gutes ANC und HearTrough
– Sehr gute App mit sehr vielen Einstellmglichkeiten
– Physische Tasten
Contra:
– Sitz der Kopfhrer (bei mir)
Fazit: Wrden Sie bei mir besser sitzen, dann wren die Elite 85t die perfekten InEars. Da Sie aber ansonsten bei den InEars meines Erachtens momentan die Referenz sind, gibt’s von mir einen absoluten Daumen hoch und eine Empfehlung.
Ich kannte die Marke Jabra schon von dem Vorgngermodell Jabra Elite 65t. Ich war von diesen bereits mehr als begeistert und war umso gespannter auf die neueste Version. Der erste Test hat mich frmlich umgehauen. Es ist unglaublich was fr einen Klang diese kleinen Dinger von sich geben knnen; insbesondere der Bass ist unglaublich stark fr die Gre der Kopfhrer. Der Klang ist super klar und man hat das Gefhl man befindet sich in einer Konzerthalle. Die Geruschunterdrckung (ANC) ist super umgesetzt. Ich konnte es als Beifahrer im Auto super testen. Mit ausgeschalteter ANC waren die Fahrgerusche trotz Musik deutlich hrbar. Sobald die ANC aktiv war, war man in seiner eigenen Musikwelt. Ich habe die Kopfhrer nun seit ca. 14 Tagen im Schnitt tglich im Gebrauch und musste sie bis jetzt kein einziges mal Laden (Nutzungsdauer ca. 1-3h Pro Tag). Zunchst war ich bei dem Ladegehuse recht skeptisch, da es sich einfach so ffnen lsst und ich hatte bedenken, dass die Kopfhrer herausfallen. Doch dank der Magnete kann dies nicht passieren – das wurde wirklich sehr gut umgesetzt. Auch die Gre der Ladeschale ist super, da sie so perfekt in die Hosentasche passt. Der Tragekomfort der Kopfhrer ist einmalig; man sprt nicht, dass man sie in den Ohren hat. Doch das hat leider den Nachteil, dass sie nicht besonders fest sitzen. Ich gehe gerne mit Musik auf den Ohren joggen Das wrde ich mich mit den Jabra Elite 85t jedoch nicht trauen, da sie sehr locker sitzen und bei etwas mehr Kopfbewegung auch leicht rausfallen. Man lebt “in stndiger Angst” die Kopfhrer zu verlieren. Deshalb gibt es einen Punkt Abzug. Dennoch wrde ich sie jedem weiterempfehlen. Denn fr den Alltag ohne groartige, heftige Bewegungen sind sie perfekt geeignet. Super finde ich, dass die Knpfe einzeln konfiguriert werden knnen. Die Qualitt beim telefonieren ist auch nicht zu bemngeln. Allerdings werden Anrufer nicht angekndigt; es klingelt einfach und man wei nicht wer gerade anruft. Hier wre ebenfalls ein Update wnschenswert, sodass der Anrufername angesagt wird. Rundum bin ich mit den Kopfhrern sehr zufrieden.
Weniger anzeige
I recently upgraded to the Jabra Elite 85t from the Elite 75t. The newer version are even better! You really notice the bigger drivers in the earbuds. They produce a better quality of sound, particularly for bass. I had issues previously with the headphones clashing with my bluetooth smartwatch. The issue seems to be fixed with this newer version, using the Jabra app and my smartwatch at the same time now works seamlessly.
I was slightly concerned with the oval earbud design as I’ve only ever used round in ear buds before. After using them for a while they have proved just as comfortable, possibly even more so.
Battery life is excellent and being able to put them back in the case for a while to charge up on the go is handy.
I’d highly recommend the Jabra 85t to anybody looking for wireless earbuds.
Three ear tips are provided: small, medium and large. Jabra Elite 85T are all plastic and super lightweight and small which means it do not stick out past your ears which is very comfortable as they stay in your ear very well, perfect for jogging or gym use. Very minimalistic look and feel. Jabra Elite 85T are also dust and water protected. On the either side the touch pads are sensitive so you do not need to press so hard. When using these buds there is no need to take your phone out as each earbud has different functions: hear-through toggle, skip track / side tone call, previous track, mute call, volume up/down, play/pause, answer the call, activate voice assistant, reject the call, put current call on hold. Excellent passing noise isolation, more isolated audio experience comparing to other earbuds. Hear-through sensitivity can be adjusted which is very handy sometimes. Only one earbud can be used at the time, but it must be the right one as, unfortunately, the left one does not work on its own. Auto-pause function works when you take out your earbuds — music will automatically stop, put them back in to your ears and music will automatically resume. Bluetooth works perfectly, no syncing delays which is a huge plus for video watchers like me. Battery life on earbuds is 7.5 hours and together with the case it can get up the total of 28 hours which is a very high performance. If you want a reliable pair of wireless earbuds for working out or other activities — Jabra Elite 85T is a perfect choice.
Great Ear Buds when connected to Android or IOS. Pros: – The fit is great and semi-comfortable for my ears. I am wearing these for long sessions and it’s comfortable, to begin with then my experience is my inner ears begin to ache but it’s not too bad if I loosen the fit to my ears. I was initially worried about the open design and oval-shaped buds, but I was very pleasantly surprised in the end. – The sound quality is great, the bass is solid. If you want more bass you can always use the EQ on the app (which is also great). – ANC and HearThrough modes are fantastic. I don’t know how ANC compares with other premium models firsthand, but it seems perfect for my needs. – Wireless case is great. Sleek design and wireless charging, is good to have just need to get a wireless charger now to test it out. – Battery life is as advertised, and pretty much what you would expect from a premium pair nowadays. – Call quality is very clear. Cons – Multipoint is great if it worked I’m getting intermittent disconnections with my Ipad the sound keeps dropping while watching youtube videos and I’m not sure why as this doesn’t happen with my Samsung mobile that’s also connected therefore I’m not sure if this is a software issue. UPDATE: – This was solved with a software update and now works as expected
Jabra bietet mit den Elite 85t kabellose In-Ear Kopfhrer, die mit aktiver Geruschunterdrckung (ANC) daherkommen und einen bombenfesten Halt in den Ohren haben. Diese bringen einen super Sound mit, sowie starke Funktionsvielfalt und sind dabei auch ein Dauerlufer.
Spezifikationen
Zu den wichtigsten Spezifikationen gehren ANC, der personalisierbare Sound, ein Wireless Charging Case, eine App-Bedienung (Jabra Sound+), und die IPX4-Zertifizierung, wodurch Regen und Schwei kein Problem darstellen. Der Akku reicht ohne ANC fr ber 7 Std Laufzeit und mit aktivierter Geruschunterdrckung verringert sich die Laufzeit um ca. 2 Std. Mit dem Case erreiche ich eine lngere Laufzeit die angegebenen 25 Std, da mir auch die Lautstrke bei 50-60% ausreicht.
App-Anbindung
Die kostenlose App Jabra Sound+” fr iOS- und Android-Systeme bringt fr die Kopfhrer eine Grozahl an Funktionen mit und macht es mglich diese mit den Kopfhrern zu benutzen. Der Nutzer kann die Firmware der Kopfhrer aktualisieren, den Sound individuell auf sich mit MySound” anpassen, die Tastensteuerung nach eigenen Wnschen mit MyControls” belegen, den Equalizer nutzen, den Ladestand der beiden Ohrhrer & des Case einsehen und das Benutzerhandbuch lesen.
Gertesteuerung
Die Jabra legen groen Wert auf die Funktionalitt und die Bedienerfreundlichkeit. Die Tasten an den beiden Kopfhrern sind schn gro dimensioniert und haben auch einen guten Druckpunkt, was mir persnlich ein besseres Feedback als kapazitive Bedienung liefert. Die Tasten reagieren auf einmal, zweimal und dreimal drcken je Kopfhrer. Die genannten Gesten knnen in der App mit den folgenden Funktionen belegt werden:
– Keine Funktion
– Nchster Titel
– Titel Zurck
– Wiedergabe/Pause
– Sprachbefehl
– ANC/HearThrough
HearThrough lsst die Umgebungsgerusche durch, also quasi der Antagonist zu ANC. Des Weiteren gibt es noch langes Drcken, welches die Laustrke erhht (rechter Kopfhrer) und Lautstrke verringert (linker Kopfhrer). Zu guter Letzt funktioniert Auto-Pause und Auto-Play bei Abnahme eines Kopfhrers und wieder Aufsetzen. Durch diese Vielzahl an Funktionen hat man den Vorteil nicht aufs Smartphone greifen zu mssen.
Hier muss man Jabra ein groes Lob aussprechen, da nahezu alle mglichen Funktionen mit reingepackt wurden.
Sound
Die Kopfhrer haben einen 12mm Treiber integriert und sind mit den Audio-Codecs SBC & AAC ausgestattet, welche fr einen satten Bass, volle und detailreiche Mitten und Hhen sorgen. Diese Codecs reichen vollkommen aus, zumal auch iPhones kein aptX oder LDAC untersttzen. Dem Nutzer steht eine Auswahl von 6 Equalizerpresets zur Verfgung, die mehrere Genres stilistisch abdecken. Darber hinaus sind auch eigene Einstellungen mittels integriertem Equalizer speicherbar. Die Lautstrke ist berraschend hoch trotz der ganz kleinen und zierlichen Kopfhrergre, da ich generell nicht so laut hre reichen mir sogar nur 50-60% Lautstrke aus, wodurch viele mit den 100% gut bedient sein sollten. Das Grundrauschen war bei mir gar nicht wahrnehmbar und sollten hier viele genau so wenig stren. Die Soundqualitt bei Telefonaten gefiel mir sehr gut, da es sehr natrlich wirkt, auch konnte mich die Person am anderen Ende sehr gut verstehen, jedoch konnte die Person am anderen Ende des Hrers sehr stark die Umgebungsgerusche wahrnehmen.
Fazit
Jabra bietet mit den Elite 85t erstklassige TWS an und konzentriert sich auf ein starkes Gesamtpaket, welches ein schlankes/kompaktes Design bietet, vielfltige Funktionalitt und sehr gute Soundqualitt mitbringt.
Ich wsste nicht was man noch verbessern kann, deswegen gibt es von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung und 5 von 5 Punkten.
The Jabra Elite 85T are great headphones for several reasons. The first one is the quality manufacturing of the earphones and the charger. You really feel that you have a durable product in your hands. The charging case is excellent and the way the earphones are magnetized, which allows for a perfect fit, is really a good idea. I appreciate being able to charge the earphones with the case, which allows me to have them quickly at 100% when I’m not using them. The three types of ear adapters allow us to have excellent comfort depending on the size of our ears. The sound quality is good but what makes the product really excellent is the quality of noise reduction that far surpasses all the products I’ve tried so far. It allows you to isolate yourself completely and you even have to pay attention to your environment because it really isolates you from any noise and even from someone talking to you. If you like to play games, listen to music or watch movies in a noisy environment I strongly recommend them. You should however be careful not to use them while driving, cycling or running in a shared environment as it can be dangerous.
I have owned the 65T’s for a few years now and they have been a solid performer in that time. Truth be told, I actually prefer over the ear full sized headphones but in these times, they are not exactly practical especially since I wear glasses as well! I’ve found that I’ve been using the 65Ts a lot more and so when I got this chance to nab the 85Ts I eagerly did so!
Having spent some time with the 85T I must say that they are quite the upgrade over the 65T! Obviously, I’ve skipped a generation in between but this has made me appreciate them all the more. The addition of ANC on the 85T is like night and day when compared to the 65T and the sound is so much fuller and musical, with a noticeable bass that the 65T lacked.
Functionality wise, there’s more to tweak with the 85T, and the MySound app customising the sound to my ears does seem to work its magic! Also, you now only need to tap the earpiece one time to switch between ANC and “HearThrough” modes. Speaking of which, the “HearThrough” mode is a functionality that I absolutely cannot live without these days. It means you don’t have to take off your headphones when you need to hear the outside world, or to speak to someone whilst on the move, especially these days!
The 85T earbuds don’t fit as snugly as the 65T due to their spherical earbuds but I didn’t think they would fall out at any time, and they haven’t done so either so far! Overall, they’re smaller as well which you do get the feeling they’re jutting out of your ears a bit more especially since they’re also a bit heavier. The other standout feature is the charging storage case. When you put the earphones back in they “snap” back in due to magnets?! Pretty cool as you know they’ve slotted into place properly. However, they are a tad harder to get out due to this too! Also, the lid doesn’t click into place like the ones for the 65T one but not a problem so far.
Another rather nifty feature of the case is that it supports wireless charging! So, when I get home I can just plonk the case on a wireless charging pad and don’t have to worry about cables, but you can still use a USB-C cable if you prefer!
Overall, I am very happy with the 85T headphones and like I said before, they’re a worthy upgrade over my trusty 65Ts. The ANC and “HearThrough” modes make life so much easier! Plus, with Jabra’s legendary experience in making quality voice hardware, makes the 85T an absolute joy to use whether it’s for music or voice calling. A big thumbs up!!
These earphones are stylish and comfortable to wear. They have a very decent battery life and the sound quality is good too. The price tag says it all but in a market flooded with this technology I feel you do get bang for your buck with this product. There are different sized ear buds so they fit all sizes, they were pretty comfortable to wear even for a few hours and they are pretty easy to set up and use even for someone who isn’t clued up on the latest tech! Glad I purchased and will be recommending to all my friends and family.
When I first put the Jabra Elite 85t True Wireless earbuds in my ears, it felt very different to the wired buds that I was used to. Without the wire pulling down, they felt light. The semi-open design meant that they were not wedged tightly in my ear — for a while I kept thinking they were going to fall out, but after a few days, they have shown themselves to be held securely in place.
The active noise cancellation is very effective. Not quite as good as my over-ear headphones with ANC but far better than my experience with regular buds and I can keep the volume of my music and podcasts low and still enjoyable even when in noisy conditions.
The sidetone feature, allowing you to hear yourself on a call, has not been so useful for me in the environments that I usually make calls. If there is any sound in the background, it sounds a little like holding a seashell up to my ear. Fortunately, the app allows it to be disabled and the call quality has otherwise been very good. Being able to connect to 2 devices at a time has been useful when using my laptop and taking calls on my phone and has worked well, along with triggering Google Assistant.
The frequency response as shipped is pretty good and the large speakers perform immeasurably better than buds I’ve used in the past. The app provides an equaliser with a range of presets but I’ve been happy with the default. The battery life of the buds has been great and the pocketable charging case is very simple to use, with magnets guiding the buds in to place. I recommend these buds, particularly for those that want the active noise cancellation.
Everything is OK except the fitting. I really like that the buttons are physical and not a touch sensitive areas.
But with the fitting is there a company that will create custom ear pierces?
I bought these for two reasons: 1. to cancel noisy discussions at work and 2. while on my bike trainer.
The ANC is adequate for the first reason and it helps on deadening the noise of a tumble drier in the garage while on my bike.
For the second use, I can keep my head still enough that I only have to try to re-position one an ear bud every so often. How anyone can move I do not know.
So I just want an ear piece that fits and stays in.
I have a 65T and the ANC is so much better in the 85Ts. The sound maybe considered better too. I hoped the ear bud fit would be better in the 85Ts but I am yet to be convinced.
I had this great opportunity to test Jabra Elite 75t. So before I had a first go with new Elite 85t I had some expectations. I was absolutely pleased with the 75t’s. The 85t’s on the paper been very promising. True ANC, bigger 12mm driver, wireless charging as a standard. I expected bigger sound, better ANC experience. But my assumptions been wrong in terms of sound reproductions. The Elite 75t are known as a bit boomy. Sound signature for me was excellent, after few tweaks in Sound plus app everyone could adjust the level of bass to his preferences. With bigger 12mm driver I thought that the sound will even bigger, even more bass. What I actually found was more clarity, more details, more mature signature, wider soundstage, surprisingly less bass out of the box, but that was very positive for me. It’s the next level comparing with previous model. Next thing was the new shape of the earplugs tips. I was used to the 75t’s. They fit great, deep in the ear canal. Perfect for any sport activities, running, exercising you name it. New shape of the ear tips in Elite 85t doesn’t get as deep as the 75t’s. Initially I was a bit scared that they will drop off my ear. But I can say for sure now – the new shape seat in ear canal more gentle, less fatigue for long listening session – but still confident for any sport activities. I run, jump with skipping rope – no problems whatsoever. Additional two sets of tips in two sizes will be handy for anyone with bigger or smaller ear canals to get perfect fitting. The ANC. That’s a game changer for me comparing any different top brands of true wireless earbuds. You can adjust level of noise cancelling for your preference with Sound plus app. That’s I think ,the strongest point of new Elite 85t. Phone conversation on highest level even in very loud environment thanks to ANC. Wireless charging allows you to top up batteries quickly when needed. For me new Elite 85t are the best true ANC earbuds at this moment. It’s the mature version of predecessor Elite 75t with many small and big improvements which makes the perfect companion on the go.
I’ve been a longtime Jabra headset user but was looking for something that gave me noise cancellation but in a small form factor.
I wanted something that was easy to carry around in my pocket and had decent battery life.
The Jabra Elite 85t ticks all the boxes for me.
They also look great.
My only criticism might be that they are a bit heavy when you lean forward.
Might be I need to play around with the rubber ear size to find something that fits better, but, I nearly lost the left ear pod the first day I wore them when out walking.
It fell out of my ear and into the road.
Fortunately no drama and no car driving over it.
If you can include it falling from my ear to the ground as a crash test, then they can be dropped from 6 feet onto the ground and won’t break.
The companion Sound+ app makes it easy to configure the sound profile for your specific ears and they have some cool white noise examples for those that want to sleep or focus.
I’m also looking forward to travelling again and leaving my clunky Bose noise cancelling headphones behind.
The battery lasts a decent amount of time, and is incredibly easy and fast to charge, either by cable or by placing onto a charging mat, which I have for my Samsung phone.
I’ve heard a lot of people rave about their Apple Airpods, but I don’t think they are even close to the Jabra Elite 85t in respect of how they look and the sound quality.
I don’t think the Jabra Elite 85t would be suitable for out and out sports purists or runners, but I’ve worn them to the gym, I walk in them every day, I’ve run a bit, I’ve worked out and not had any issues with the headphones.
Not sure if they are waterproof, but they sit nicely in your ears so I think water exposure would be minimal.
Overall, I can find little wrong with these great headphones and I would highly recommend them to friends and family and even strangers.
From the unboxing experience to actually using it, everything is great about these earbuds. I have reviewed many earbuds , but have never experienced anything like this when it comes to ANC quality, battery levels are very good, wireless charging a big plus, sound quality very good and is now less bass heavy compared to the 75t which suits my personal taste, the ear tips are very good and i did manage to get snug fit. Multipoint connection works a treat , i had one connected to my MBP and other to my phone. Music stops as soon as it’s removed from the ear. The ANC Levels can be controlled how much you like which is very big plus. I played a video to simulate a noisy place and it almost cutout all the noise when i was standing next to the speaker, quite impressed. I have already recommend this to some of my friends who Sought my advise from me their next earbuds. my use case is Webex /zoom etc meeting , watching movies , playing music etc. My only gripe is i do feel like removing them for 10-15 mins after 5-6 hours of constant use before reusing them again.
Noise cancellation not strong
And cost 30% higher for this quality
Not recommend for everyone
Der erste Eindruck zhlt bekanntlich. Hier bei den Jabra Elite 85t stimmt er. Die Verpackung macht einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck. Die innenliegenden Beschreibungen zeigen anschaulich die Verzge des Produktes. Man wird aber auch schnell und einfach in die Bedienung eingefhrt.
Das Case in dem die In-Ears aufbewahrt und geladen werden knnen, ist ebenfalls sehr hochwertig. Durch die Magneten bleiben die In-Ears dort wo sie hin sollen und das Case selbst bleibt ebenfalls geschlossen.
In der Verpackung sind noch weitere Aufstze fr die In-Ears, die zur Anpassung an das jeweilige Ohr ausprobiert werden sollten. Bei mir sind die installierten Passstcke genau die richtigen. Dies bedeutet, dass die Jabra Elite sofort passten.
Nach dem Download der App und dem Koppeln wollten die In-Ears zunchst ein Firmware Update. Dies dauerte ca. 5 Minuten, verlief aber ohne Probleme.
Danach konnte ich mich dann schlussendlich vom Sound und der Qualitt berzeugen. Ich muss sagen, dass sowohl der Musik-Sound als auch die Stimm-Wiedergabe beim Telefonieren absolut nicht zu beanstanden sind.
Durch die diversen Einstellmglichkeiten in der App kann man den Sound auf seine Wnsche anpassen. Da fllt mir gerade ein, dass zum Start der In-Ears ein “Hrtest” durchgefhrt wird. hnlich wie beim Ohrenarzt werden diverse Tne unterschiedlicher Frequenzen abgespielt. Hrt man einen Ton besttigt man dies ber die App. Resultat ist ein auf die Person abgestimmtes Hrerlebnis.
Die Active Noise Canceling (ANC) Funktion funktioniert einwandfrei. Egal ob beim Spaziergang oder in den ffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Die Auengerusche werden perfekt isoliert und herausgefiltert.
Wer hier etwas von der Umgebung mitbekommen mchte, dann die Intensitt des ANC in der App selbst regulieren.
Der Equalizer in der App bietet zustzlich die Mglichkeit den Sound nach seinem Geschmack oder seinem Gehr anzupassen.
Die Sprachqualitt whrend eines Telefonates ist ebenfalls nicht zu beanstanden.
Ein klitzekleines “Manko” ist vielleicht die Empfindlichkeit gegenber elektronischen Gerten. Kommt man zu nah an elektrischer Felder wird die Bluetooth-Verbindung gestrt. Man hrt knacken oder die Verbindung geht einseitig komplett verloren. Ich konnte dies aber eindeutig auf die Nhe zu elektronischen Gerten oder elektromagnetischen Feldern zurckfhren. Aus meiner Sicht kein Manko des Produktes.
Ich kann die Jabra Elite 85 t uneingeschrnkt weiter empfehlen.
Once you can figure out which one is LHS or RHS I found these are a joy to use.
Been used extensively whilst an inpatient on a busy , noises hospital ward and although I was using them to listen to audible books it was still blocking the back ground noises during gaps in the audio.
The one thing I wouldn’t recommend them for is use on the public highway as the ANC is just that good.
Battery life appears to be greater than spec, but that could have some bearing to the audio being used.
I am absolutely loving these earbuds. I was torn between these and the 75t active, and I’m glad I went with these in the end.
Pros:
– The fit is great and comfortable for my ears. I am wearing these for long sessions and I often forget I have them on. I was initially worried with the open design and oval shaped buds, but I was very pleasantly surprised in the end.
– The sound quality is great, bass is solid. If you want more bass you can always use the EQ on the app (which is also great).
– ANC and HearThrough modes are fantastic. I don’t know how ANC compares with other premium models firsthand, but it seems perfect for my needs.
– Wireless case is great. Sleek design and wireless charging has been a selling point for me.
– Battery life is as advertised, and pretty much what you would expect from a premium pair nowadays.
– Call quality is very clear. Friends and colleagues have complimented the sound a few times now.
Cons
– Multipoint is great when it works, but sometimes it can get a bit flakey when you’re using your earbuds with a laptop. I guess this is fine considering these earbuds are not optimised for laptops anyway.
– It’s a shame they’re not as water resistant as the 75t active, but I’m not too fussed personally as IPX4 should be enough for my personal daily use.
Conclusion:
I recommend this pair if price isn’t an issue, they are very well rounded with lots of great features.
If you’re not really fussed with ANC or the other minor improvements over the previous models (12mm speakers, 6 microphones), or if you’re a fitness enthusiast, then maybe the 75t active are more suitable for you. Either way this a fantastic pair overall, very happy with my purchase!
Finally Jabra gets it right, previously had the 75ts but the bass was unbearable even when adjusted. Was apprehensive about getting the 85ts incase the sound was along the same lines. Thankfully its been addressed and you get a better all round sound comparable to the sony wf-1000xm3. Noise cancelling is excellent good fit, great battery life with wireless charging. Delighted to have finally found a pair of wireless buds il be keeping.
Comparing to Galaxy buds live(latest Samsung ear bud) no sound lag when using on Ios,Macos,Windows,Android devices. Comfortable beyond and above. Sound quality better than Bose QC35 over ear. Active and passive ANC – a next level! Sound through – a wow! Wireless charging case, battery life, call quality meting all expectations. Supports 2 unparalleled devices. Worth every penny. Almost forgot app features very impressive, and yes these available across the platforms not just IOS or Android but also Windows.
Neben allgemeinen Eindrcken und technischen Erfahrungen, werde ich vor allem den Fokus darauflegen, ob es sich lohnt seine alten” Elite 75t aus dem Vorjahr gegen diese zu ersetzen.
Kurzer berblick:
Positiv:
– Gutes ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) mit, allein dafr, 4 Mikrofone
– Telefonie funktioniert sehr gut, man wird deutlich verstanden
– Sehr gute App Sound+ mit vielen Einstellungsmglichkeiten
– Kabelloses Laden der Ladestation mglich
Neutral:
– Leichtes Hintergrundrauschen vorhanden, jedoch sehr schwach wahrnehmbar
– ANC HearThrough (Umweltgerusche knnen verstrkt werden), jedoch wird das Rauschen auch verstrkt
– Laufzeit gerade mal knapp 6 Stunden
– IPX4 Zertifizierung (Schutz gegen allseitiges Spritzwasser)
Negativ:
– Sitzen zu locker, bzw. rutschen bei starken Bewegungen raus (ungeeignet fr Sport)
– Wenn man ANC deaktiviert wird der Klang schlechter
Wie man an den Punkten sieht, kann man gut erkennen das Jabra diesmal mit ANC versucht zu punkten. Um es kurz zu machen, ja es funktioniert gut und fr solche kleinen Dinger ist es schon beeindruckend und in diesem Punkt sind sie besser als die Vorgngermodelle. Jedoch sollte man auch keine Wunder erwarten. Wer sich von der Umgebung komplett abschirmen will, der braucht schon geschlossene Kopfhrer mit ANC, daran kommen die Jabra 85T dann doch nicht ganz dran.
Sound und Akku + Ladestation:
Bass ist krftig, jedoch nicht bersteuert, auch die Mitten werden gut getroffen, nur die Hhen kommen manchmal nicht so recht zur Geltung.
Die Laufzeit ist akzeptabel, nichts Besonderes aber auch nichts Schlechtes. Was jedoch schlecht auffllt, wenn man ANC deaktivieren will, um z.B. die Akkulaufzeit zu erhhen, wird der Klang hrbar schlechter. Der Bass wird schwcher und die Hhen schlechter. Eventuell kommt hier noch irgendwann ein Update, welches das Problem behebt.
Wer einen klaren Klang ber alles andere stellt, der wre ggfls. besser mit den Sennheiser CX 400 BT bedient https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08CZQXLQJ
Positiv sei aber auch die Ladestation/Aufbewahrungsbox erwhnt, diese fhlt sich recht hochwertig an und ist klein und kompakt (siehe Bild, wie klein es auf einem DIN-A4-Blatt wirkt, sie passt also auch mhelos in jeder Hosentasche rein).
Telefonie & App:
Selbst Straenverkehr wird beim Telefonieren reduziert, so dass man deutlich verstanden wird.
Die App lsst keine Wnsche offen, man kann diverse Hrprofile festlegen, Equalizer anpassen, ANC in 5 Stufen regeln, , dabei ist sie meiner Einschtzung nach sehr intuitiv fr den Normalverbraucher” zu nutzen.
Tragekomfort und Bedienung:
Sie sitzen lockerer und nicht mehr so fest wie die Vorgnger. Fr mich sind sie daher angenehmer zu tragen, aber das ist subjektiv und bei jedem anders. Der Nachteil, dass sie so locker sitzen, ist aber vor allem das sie leichter rausrutschen, wenn man z.B. zum baldigen abfahrenden Zug rennt ist es kritisch, sie sind keinesfalls fr den Sport geeignet, wenn man nicht gerade Schach als Sportart ausfhrt.
Die Bedienung erfolgt ber die App, kann aber auch ber die Jabras direkt erfolgen, beide haben jeweils einen Knopf und man kann in der App einstellen welche Funktionen ausgefhrt werden, wenn man einmal oder zweimal etc. drckt.
Vergleich zu den Vorgngermodell 75T und lohnt sich der Wechsel:
Soundmig finde ich den Unterschied kaum wahrnehmbar, ANC und Telefonie funktioniert hier deutlich besser, aber dafr rutschen sie beim Sport zu leicht aus den Ohren.
Die 85T haben eine minimal krzere Akkulaufzeit und nur IPX4, die 75T haben einen besseren Schutz IP55 (Schutz gegen Strahlwasser aus einem beliebigen Winkel).
Das Case des neuen 85T bietet mehr Energie als das des 75er und auch wireless charging ist mit an Bord.
Welche sollte man sich nun kaufen?
Wer die In-Ears fr Sport verwenden will, der sollte sich definitiv die Jabra Elite Active 75T kaufen https://www.amazon.de/dp/B083ZWT7SG
Wer keinen groen Wert auf besseres ANC legt und auch nicht mit den In-Ears telefonieren will, dem wrde ich dann doch eher die Vorgnger empfehlen https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07XDBCYMX um Geld zu sparen.
Wem ANC und Telefonie wichtig sind oder wem der Preis unwichtig ist, der sollte dann schon die neuen 85T erwerben.
Der Unterschied zu dem Vorgnger ist eine konsequente Weiterentwicklung, die aber auch ihren Preis hat, die Vorgnger sind knapp 25 % gnstiger. Die fr Sport geeigneten Jabras Elite Active 75T sind etwas mehr als 15 % gnstiger.
Fazit:
Sicher ein guter In-Ear Kopfhrer, fr mich selbst wrden die Neuen keine Rechtfertigung bieten meine Alten auszutauschen. Dazu sitzen sie zu locker und rutschen bei strkeren Bewegungen zu leicht heraus. Auch die schlechte Qualitt bei deaktivierten ANC ist zu bemngeln. Ich kann derzeit keine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen, das Preis-/Leistungsverhltnis ist nicht gut, kauft euch lieber die Vorgnger 75T oder wartet bis Jabra auch fr Sport verwendbare 85T rausbringt. Einzig fr diejenigen, die viel damit auch telefonieren wollen, wre es ein starker Mehrwert im Vergleich zu den 75T.
Do you like bass in earphones? Then these are the buds for you – the bass is enormous!
– SOUND –
Once adjusted – awesome. Out the box – I never thought I’d say it for a pair of tiny earbuds, but they probably have a bit too much bass by default that overpowers everything else somewhat. I typically listen to music with quite a lot of bass, and I felt like my brain was being liquified… My normal EQ settings are very similar to the “Energetic” EQ mode in the Sound+ app, but that made it unlistenable.
However, this is a really easy fix with the really convenient and easy to use Sound+ app. I turned the bass down a touch in the equaliser and they now sound awesome. Great clarity and range, and my go to test track sounded exactly how I’d want it. Lows clear, and highs never getting distorted even at high volume. Overall very impressed after some tweaking.
An annoyance I have is you can only use the right earbud alone as the left connects to the right, rather than your phone. Shame really as like to have the options, but not the end of the world. It does mean though that if you take the right bud out, even temporarily to hear, the music will shut off.
– CALLS –
Everybody I have spoken to on the phone has said I sound very clear with no real background noise, and the quality of what I am hearing is crisp and clear. The sidetone feature is great to be able to hear yourself somewhat whilst speaking, and allows you to still comfortably speak with both earphones in rather than having to take one out to save you echoey boomy head voice. Not perfect but a definite qol improvement.
– FIT/COMFORT –
I always go for the largest earbuds and these provided a great seal and block out plenty of sound on initial testing. Unfortunately for me, they leave somewhat to be desired on the move. The larger size tends to gradually want to slip out for me, especially after significant talking, and the smaller eargel is just too mall to adequately block out sound and create that good seal. One thing – be careful when taking off the eargels, they have a very secure fit and the silicone doesn’t like stretching.
I like how small these are in your ear, and they definitely look swish. I do wish they had a slightly rubberised texture though, like the active, as they are VERY slippery to handle so you had better take care!
– USABILITY –
Dead simple. The Sound+ app is really easy to use and allow for good EQ adjustment, presets, earbud shortcuts and more. You can configure each earbud for single, double and triple tap commands from a preset list. Which covers most bases. Only thing these earphones could have maybe done with is volume controls or at least an option to use the button press combinations to adjust this, but hey ho.
Battery life is stellar on these. I have used for almost a full day and never run out. Chances are you will have breaks during wearing, and these little charge-ups mean you will rarely run out of battery during a day – if ever.
– NOISE CANCELLING/HEARTHROUGH –
Active Noise cancelling arrived on the earphones via a firmware update in October – the first time any earphones have got this after launch. This adds a really great feature to these already great earbuds and it works very nicely indeed, blocking out a very large amount of background noise. As they aren’t designed for noise cancelling, it isn’t the strongest and isn’t adjustable but gets the job done nicely.
Heathrough is also a great feature that really does allow you to hear the surrounding world with your buds in – and is adjustable in the Sound+ app. Also handy for those times you maybe want the “do not disturb me” look out and about but want to hear all.
– CONCLUSION –
A good buy, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. Good sound, lots of features and great battery life. Noise-cancelling now makes these even better for no extra cost as well! I’d go for the active model over these for the better feeling buds and waterproofing, but these will always be that bit cheaper.

The Jabra Elite 75T’s cover a lot over bases that I consider necessary for Bluetooth IEM’s. Dual device connectivity with active call switching, check. Active noise cancellation which is configurable via the Jabra app, check. A degree of water & dust resistance (IP55), check. User configurable sound or EQ (via the app), check. Call & music control via the IEM’s, check. Digital assistant (Siri, Google & Alexa), check.
These are feature rich IEM’s however there are some notable things missing. The biggest is the lack of high definition audio codecs, which will ultimately affect the sound quality if you are listening to high bit rate or lossless music files. The Elite 75t’s only support SBC & AAC audio codecs, there is no support for aptX, aptx-HD or LDAC. This is a serious omission, so what does this mean in the real world, if you’re an iPhone user not a lot. iPhone utilises the AAC codec and it’s highly optimised in the iOS operating system. However, if you’re an Android user, then you’re potentially missing out on the ability to listen to your music in the highest possible quality, and considering the cost & competition this is disappointing.
Ease of use is where things get interesting with the Elite 75T’s, the Jabra Headphone app makes the initial set up of the IEM’s a breeze. It walks you through a hearing test so you can configure them to your personal tailored sound profile, it also allows you to configure the button controls on each IEM to your own personal taste. I honestly haven’t seen any other IEM’s from a mainstream manufacturer that you allow you this degree of customisation. The app also takes care of other duties like providing an equaliser to tailor the sound to your liking and also the level of active noise cancellation, update the firmware of the IEM’s. Finally there is also the Find My Jabra function, which can help you find lost earbuds, it can locate each individual ear bud and get it to play a high pitched sound to aid finding them. Now that’s a really nice touch!
To conclude, for iPhone users the Jabra Elite 75T are a no brainer, cheaper than the competition, more features & better sound quality the competition. For Android users it’s not quite so clear cut, there are equally capable competitors out there that support more HD audio codecs, so in theory should produce a better sound. However in testing I found that not to be case, the Jabra’s held there own so colour me impressed!
The Jabra Elite 75T’s cover a lot over bases that I consider necessary for Bluetooth IEM’s. Dual device connectivity with active call switching, check. Active noise cancellation which is configurable via the Jabra app, check. A degree of water & dust resistance (IP55), check. User configurable sound or EQ (via the app), check. Call & music control via the IEM’s, check. Digital assistant (Siri, Google & Alexa), check.

Do you like bass in earphones? Then these are the buds for you – the bass is enormous!
– SOUND –
Once adjusted – awesome. Out the box – I never thought I’d say it for a pair of tiny earbuds, but they probably have a bit too much bass by default that overpowers everything else somewhat. I typically listen to music with quite a lot of bass, and I felt like my brain was being liquified… My normal EQ settings are very similar to the “Energetic” EQ mode in the Sound+ app, but that made it unlistenable.
However, this is a really easy fix with the really convenient and easy to use Sound+ app. I turned the bass down a touch in the equaliser and they now sound awesome. Great clarity and range, and my go to test track sounded exactly how I’d want it. Lows clear, and highs never getting distorted even at high volume. Overall very impressed after some tweaking.
An annoyance I have is you can only use the right earbud alone as the left connects to the right, rather than your phone. Shame really as like to have the options, but not the end of the world. It does mean though that if you take the right bud out, even temporarily to hear, the music will shut off.
– CALLS –
Everybody I have spoken to on the phone has said I sound very clear with no real background noise, and the quality of what I am hearing is crisp and clear. The sidetone feature is great to be able to hear yourself somewhat whilst speaking, and allows you to still comfortably speak with both earphones in rather than having to take one out to save you echoey boomy head voice. Not perfect but a definite qol improvement.
– FIT/COMFORT –
I always go for the largest earbuds and these provided a great seal and block out plenty of sound on initial testing. Unfortunately for me, they leave somewhat to be desired on the move. The larger size tends to gradually want to slip out for me, especially after significant talking, and the smaller eargel is just too mall to adequately block out sound and create that good seal. One thing – be careful when taking off the eargels, they have a very secure fit and the silicone doesn’t like stretching.
I like how small these are in your ear, and they definitely look swish. I do wish they had a slightly rubberised texture though, like the active, as they are VERY slippery to handle so you had better take care!
– USABILITY –
Dead simple. The Sound+ app is really easy to use and allow for good EQ adjustment, presets, earbud shortcuts and more. You can configure each earbud for single, double and triple tap commands from a preset list. Which covers most bases. Only thing these earphones could have maybe done with is volume controls or at least an option to use the button press combinations to adjust this, but hey ho.
Battery life is stellar on these. I have used for almost a full day and never run out. Chances are you will have breaks during wearing, and these little charge-ups mean you will rarely run out of battery during a day – if ever.
– NOISE CANCELLING/HEARTHROUGH –
Active Noise cancelling arrived on the earphones via a firmware update in October – the first time any earphones have got this after launch. This adds a really great feature to these already great earbuds and it works very nicely indeed, blocking out a very large amount of background noise. As they aren’t designed for noise cancelling, it isn’t the strongest and isn’t adjustable but gets the job done nicely.
Heathrough is also a great feature that really does allow you to hear the surrounding world with your buds in – and is adjustable in the Sound+ app. Also handy for those times you maybe want the “do not disturb me” look out and about but want to hear all.
– CONCLUSION –
A good buy, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. Good sound, lots of features and great battery life. Noise-cancelling now makes these even better for no extra cost as well! I’d go for the active model over these for the better feeling buds and waterproofing, but these will always be that bit cheaper.
From initial delivery, I was impressed with how easy it was to set up and pair the headphones with my phone. The Sound+ app that you need for connecting is easy to use and steps you through the process. You can customise the button presses on each bud individually, with a 1, 2 and 3 press option and differing between listening to media and during calls. The hear through functionality is great too, being able to turn on the feature which then allows you to hear the things around you is brilliant, it has a slider to allow customisation of the amount of sound it allows through. This functionality again is able to be added to the bud buttons, allowing it to be turned on and off. The fit of the buds is very comfortable, and also my wife found them very comfortable. Staying easily in the ear even during exercise, with great sound. The equaliser in the app allows you to adjust various aspects of the sound or select from you presets. The buds is packed with functionality, which auto pauses your music should you remove any of them from your ears, and will automatically resume should you put them back. Also having your voice assistant usable by the buds adds extra benefit. Battery life so far has been great, with the case constantly keeping my buds at 100%, and such an easy system with them automatically charging every time you put them back in their box.

The headphones arrived well packed; the packaging looked very modern. The headphones and charging holder looked very sleek and very presented. Setting up the headphones was extremely easy using the smartphone app, I think the Jabra Sound+ smartphone app is excellent setting up the MySound hearing profile is a great option to set the headphones to each person hearing levels.
The functions available via the smartphone app are equally excellent, I love the moments setting having present levels for a different use, the HearThrough sound modes is another excellent when out conducting activity the HearThrough enables the sound in your surrounding area to be fed through, the was great when hearing for car or out people around me however does also amplify the wind noise the volume of the HearThough can be adjusted and wind noise of a bicycle is avoidable.
The sound quality through the headphone is great I like the music equalizer for manual adjustments or present music levels for different types of the music of listens preferences, the soundscape is another interesting feature giving the available of playing background sounds such as rainfall, waves, etc.
The gestures are very helpful, I like the mute/ pause whatever is playing when one earphone is removed, I like to available setting of the functions buttons on each earphone, however, I haven’t used this to it fullest as the single press works well but when I am conducting activity the multiple presses ends in me trying not to knock them out.
The headphones are a good fit when using but at times when moving around the headphones have fallen out.
I like the fact the battery level indicator light aluminate when the charging box is opened.
Finally, I feel the headphone are excellent, but we are paying the price for a great bit of kit.
After a bit of use, I have noticed that the headphones do fall out when I am active and moving my head.

I can summarise these earbuds in one word – QUALITY! From the first moment I opened the packaging I noticed it. When compared to the cheaper (30) generic set of Chinese earbuds I bought from Amazon (you know the ones…) the carry/charging case had a noticeably smaller footprint, sleeker shape and was made of much higher quality plastic/rubber feeling material than the flat black plastic of the cheapo pair, the sleeker shape and smaller footprint made them much more pocket-able when travelling. The quality of the charging case also made me consider that the actual battery pack inside the case would most likely be of a higher quality than that contained in the cheaper set, which when I’m carrying it around in my pocket could be a genuine concern if it ever caught fire or something.
Moving onto the earbuds themselves, first impressions were that they had a very “premium” look about them, you could see the holes cut into them for the microphones to handle calls and came bundled with 3 different sizes of rubber adapters for different ear sizes which is pretty standard. They also feature a large button on each bud that controls various functions such as pause, play, skip etc. and various assistant functions like google and siri.
An area where I always though these wireless earbuds would fall flat when compared to my over-ear headphones was noise cancellation, how could such small ear buds that go inside the ear really match those that cover the ear completely? I would place them somewhere between my over-ear headphones (that cost 3x the price!) and the generic set I bought, but certainly very close to the over-ear headphones. Traffic, wind and even my partner trying to talk to me in the same room (I’ll leave you to decide whether that’s a “must have” feature or not) are completely inaudible when the earbuds are fully inserted. One very nifty feature that is also present in this set as well as my over-ear headphone is the ability to activate a “hear-through” mode, which uses the in-built microphones to transmit the sound through the headphones. Essentially it allows you to have a conversation and hear the other person perfectly without the need to remove your earbuds.
The only negative I feel these headphone have is also part of a nifty feature they have above my generic ones, which is when you remove one of the earbuds this is detected and the music is paused automatically. This means you can only use the right earbud solo, not the left.

I have the 65t’s and felt they were a bit too bulky/big for my ears. The 75t’s are a huge improvement on the form factor! They also fit nicely and securely in the ear!
Lots of reviewers have said these are bass heavy, but In my opinion they are perfect!
The buttons are easy to operate, better than the 65t’s, and pushing them doesn’t force the Earbuds further into your ear!
The case is a huge improvement….. Smaller, lighter, and USb-C!
One thing I have noticed is that they are mega fiddly to get out of the case! The advantage over the 65t’s case is the Earbuds are held in by a magnet, but good grief the Earbuds are snug, so getting them out can mean several attempts!
Great colour! I thought the titanium black looked too grey, but in reality the colour looks nice and executive!
Overall great product!
